Do not deny yourself....

I re-watched an old movie recently, and one particular scene caught my attention and got me thinking. Here's the conversation between 2 characters in the movie:

---------------
Girl A: So, he took me to this fancy french restaurant and halfway through the meal he touches my hand...

Girl B: And that's when he told you how he felt?

Girl A: No, he never said it. He probably thought he didn't need to say it.

Girl B: Then how does she know that it is real?

Girl A: He said it was not about the words!

Girl B: Oh, please! If you feel it, you say it! It's really very simple.

Girl A: He said we'll talk about it later...only...there was no "later". It never happened. That's how it ended...

Girl B: He just let you walk away? He didn't try to save it?

Girl A: I honestly believed that things might actually work out, which was really very...foolish...

Girl B: Then all that they'll give to get the world but they let the one thing that truly matters slip through their fingers!
---------------

Do you always find yourself sitting around waiting for something to happen? Or do you keep telling yourself that you can put off doing the important things in life to "later"?

For so many years, I have simply let some people in my life walk away, without getting the courage to make a stand and express my feelings for them. I have paid the price by suffering in silence with regret and hardening myself by supressing certain feelings.

No more.

Do not deny your feelings if you like or love someone. Neither do you lie to yourself should you choose the cowardly way of running away and denying yourself, just so you can look good in front of that person, or before others.
