My heart was hurting.
Someone I care for a great deal did not reach out to me on my birthday. I was hurt. I told myself I didn’t care. I did care. Very much.
I reached out and let them know I was hurt and embarrassed. Long story short, Life had been life.
It felt good sharing my heart. Okay it felt terrifying. I was afraid at first to be rejected. I wasn’t. Even if I had been it still was good for my heart.
Don’t be afraid to let folks know how you feel. They will never know. Folk get offended and will say the other person should already know how they feel.
We are not mine readers. It’s important that we share our hearts with one another. How else will the relationship grow?
Besides, don’t you want to know how the person really feels about you? The things they say may hurt but you can move forward, and so can they.
Stop wondering how people feel about you and start asking them. If you are important to them they will let you know. If not they will dismiss your feelings and you will know to keep going.
I’m not trying to tell you what to do. I’m just sharing what has helped me. It may help you. Life is short.
I hear that cup of coffee screaming my name now. I hate to disappoint a cup of coffee.
Take care of yourself. Be encouraged. You got this. Remember, your needs are important, as are your thoughts. Share them liberally.
Let me know how long you are doing. Your life is important to me. Have an awesome Saturday.
