Even if you don't recieve it back...Do it anyway
Words. Words. Words. They mean so much to me. Sometimes I cling too much to them, overanalyzing, studying the tone in which I received them, trying to figure out if I’ve missed anything, listening to see if the same thing I’m giving out is returned to me. I’m very careful with the things I say, because I know the power words can have.
When I'm talking to the people I care about, I’d like to think I use words that paint the picture of how much I love and appreciate them, and naturally, I expect like that same energy in their response…right?
Here’s the thing. Sometimes, you won’t get that back.
And that's ok.
Trust me, I’ve had my share of rejection, and I know if hurts. It hurts badly. But, you owe it to yourself to never hold back your feelings just because of how someone may react. You owe it to yourself to love people wholeheartedly, unconditionally. Sure, some people won’t accept it, but that's on them! The good news is that everyone won’t reject you!
Love, even if you don’t receive it back. Do it anyway. You owe it to yourself.
