It seems that inside us there is some little voice that whispers: "Be careful," or "Check again," but we do the opposite. And this is not about fear - rather about habit. The habit of choosing as if the heart is a little afraid that real feelings can break and leave you on the floor. And so we choose something familiar, even if it is not perfect.
And yes, I do not like to play games - those with hints, omissions and hidden rules. I just want everything to be clear: if you liked it - say so, if you didn't like it - also say so. But for some reason, in reality, it often turns out completely differently. Maybe because sometimes we are too afraid to be vulnerable? Or try to be too smart, build walls so as not to get hurt?
At such moments you just want to say to yourself: “Stop inventing, stop looking for something in people that is not there.” But it is so difficult to let go of all fears and just be yourself. After all, if you are real, open, honest - what if they don’t like it?
But it can’t be any other way, right? If you don’t try, you will never know. Maybe this is the whole point - to stop being afraid and start choosing as your heart tells you, and not your head, tired of all these weighings and calculations.
So all that remains is to just live, sometimes make mistakes, sometimes be surprised, sometimes laugh at yourself and not lose hope that one day the choice will become simpler and clearer. In the meantime, this is a small but very important game in which the main goal is to understand yourself.
What do you think, maybe we are just overcomplicating everything? 😊
