It’s okay to admit that you want attention. At times, we all need someone to talk to, but we expect the other person to be the one to initiate the conversation and that’s okay.
Have you ever put up a story, a caption, or a post just so a particular person would reply and start a conversation? To be honest, this blog post is for a particular person as well. I know it feels horrible when you want to talk to someone but can’t. It’s really important to open up, and if the other person cares, they will understand.
If you see someone posting something sad or behaving differently, please check in. It doesn’t make you any less of a person.
If you ever feel like your emotions are not valid or worthy, just remember it’ll all make sense one day. Sometimes we all need to take a deep breath and think. We all have days when we feel broken, so give attention to someone who needs it.
If you like something, you like it. That’s it. If someone makes you feel horrible for it, that person is stupid and not worthy of your time and attention. For instance, if you like listening to a particular music artist, don’t change your opinion just because others don’t like them.
Everybody has expectations, and when those expectations aren’t met, we end up breaking our own hearts. Stop having expectations. On a personal note, this is something I struggle with, but I’ve learned that having expectations is like setting fires and hoping not to get burned.
I’m pretty sure none of us are going to remember the times we played it safe so do what you feel like if you think it’s right. Send that text. Call that person. Meet that person. And if it goes wrong, at least you’ll be left with a memory.
It’s okay to be unsure, but do that thing you’ve always wanted to do. You can regret it later if you screw up, but at least you’ll know you tried. Leave behind a happy memory in every person you get to know.
Thank you for reading. Hope you’re happy and if not, remember that it gets better. If you liked this post, make sure to subscribe and comment.
