I notice how sometimes I want to hide behind a cold mask of indifference, as if that will protect me from pain. After all, admitting to myself what's important to me means giving someone power over me. What if it doesn't work out? What if they don't reciprocate? What if they break my heart? But that's what life is about. Feeling.
It's normal to be afraid. The main thing is not to let fear control you. After all, feelings aren't weakness, but strength. They make us alive, real.
I don't want to hide anymore. Let it hurt, let it be difficult, but I choose to feel. Because that's the only way to truly love, to believe, to live. 💖
