If you love someone, why on earth would you ever hold it back from that person, in an attempt to keep life as simple as possible? Um, no. I'm a strong believer that a person should never leave anything left unsaid. THAT complicates things. The reason for this is simple.
When a person holds back their feelings about an opportunity or a situation or even another person, nothing will come of it, because by not saying or doing anything about that opportunity or handling that situation or telling that person how you feel, you might as well just kiss it all goodbye and be miserable. Just say good riddance. That is what comes of never taking advantage of every chance you get. Then that once in a life-time opportunity, or situation or one person that you deeply care for or maybe even love is ripped away from you. Life is too short. Always say what you feel and always speak your mind. If then, things don't work out, then you know it was never meant to be. Then you aren't stuck wondering "what if". What if I said yes to that job offer.... what if I mended my relationship with that person in my family.... WHAT IF I told that person I love them.... would my life be different? Would I be happier? And if not, well, at least I would know my answer and find the strength to move on.
I wonder how things might be if everyone just swallowed their pride and asked the questions they really wanted answers for, or told someone they loved them, or actually took the initiative to go for what they truly wanted. How might the world be different if people just looked for the good, and not held back anything, and not kept secrets, or resented each other because of the pain they might have caused. I wonder how life might change for everyone if people just forgave each other and stopped judging everything and everyone; or how it might be different if no one ever held a grudge and was more eager to love one another. I think we would all see better days.
