It Seems That Not Saying What We Feel Is Fashionable

It may seem as if we in today’s society are playing with not showing what we like. By not placing ourselves out there, for fear of rejection. By waiting for the other to say how they feel before we can open up. It may seem that we do not care who is next to us. We sneak around. It seems that not saying what we feel is fashionable.

It scares us to have to expose our soul. Having to peel away all the layers of protection and show who we really are. We are afraid to show our fear and to touch the souls of others; let’s ourselves fall and trust that someone will catch us. We are so afraid to go to the surface of everything that surrounds us that we rather choose to close ourselves, shut ourselves inside a shell.

It seems fashionable not to say “I love you”. How many times have you said that today? How many people do we really love? Guaranteed more than those we have told it to today. Not saying how we feel does not protect us from anything. It covers our mouths, simply, but does not change any aspect of our emotions.

Not saying how we feel is not a good trend. It is because it pulls us away from those we love and love. It prevents us from showing who we are, what we like and who we love. Being able to express our feelings should never go out of style.

The fear of saying how we feel

The fear of expressing ourselves, of letting go of our deepest feelings, is a defense mechanism. One way we can protect ourselves from disappointment and the feeling of being abandoned, and in short, from feeling vulnerable. It is normal for us to say to each other “I love you” when we start a relationship, or when we are happy to be in love and hopeful that it will last forever. Just as we thank those we love for the love they give us. But sometimes we do not do this because we think they already know, but what’s so wrong with telling them how we feel?

What we do not say gets stuck inside us, they form a knot that can sometimes be painful. What we do not say drives us and becomes a burden, because it makes us prisoners in ourselves. It takes us away from the people we love and removes us from our emotions.

Let this trend die out. Let us end this habit of not showing our love as it is, of changing relationships where we think we know everything without talking about it. Let us try to say things and prove our love, to show our inner self, to undress the soul. Let’s remove our armor. Let us open ourselves without defense to show others what we have inside.

It may be too late tomorrow

Why do we wait to tell others that we love them? Why are we waiting to jump in to see what happens? Rejection will always be better than the eternal doubt about what could have been. Showing our feelings does not make us worse, weak or ignorant, but rather the opposite. Telling what we feel makes us free, authentic and honest because we show ourselves as we are, we let others see our essence.

Do not wait until tomorrow, let’s not watch the time flow because. Let us not make it easy for someone else to move further away from us. Let’s say that. Let us express what our hearts feel and show everything that we carry with us inside. The trend of not saying what we feel ends when we want it to. Do not forget it.

Say what we feel and feel what we say. This connection goes both ways. Let us show ourselves to the world, let us be free. Let us let go of what is burning, what is invading us and what wants to be set free. Let us try to say how we feel, and we will feel how calm takes hold of us because we managed to overcome something we are afraid of. Because we managed to be ourselves and feel free.
