Something to think about...

Because I've recently been in the car traveling a lot..[to and from work this week has been a 4 1/2 hr. commute] I've had the chance to: hit that little button that glows a pretty green color that says CRUISE, to have a full pack of my favorite smokes in my lap, to have a cup of my favorite tea in my right hand, to have billy joel's greatest hits at Vol.13 [low enough to hear my own voice, loud enough to drown out the trucks passing me on Rte.287] in my ear, and to be able to just THINK. Think about anything I want! What a great oppurtunity..
These are thoughts that cross my mind:
Have you ever noticed that the worst way to miss someone is when they are right beside you and yet you can never have them?...when the moment you can't feel them under your fingertips, you miss them? ugh.. I hate that ;\
Have you ever wondered which hurts the most; saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing and wishing you had?
I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish them, words shrink things that seemed timeless when they were in your head...to no more than living size when they are brought out....
One thing I'm proud of and I don't regret is how I've never been afraid to tell someone how I feel. Honesty is key...I've learned that the hard way. So I know I'm not middle-aged and might not have LOTS of wisdom due to a 22 yr-old's "lack of experience" [which is complete bull], but if you only want to know 1 thing in life know this...DO NOT be afraid to tell someone you love them. If you do, they might break your heart...but if you don't, you might break theirs.
Have you ever decided not to become a couple because you were so afraid of losing what you already had with that person? [I know it all too well.]
Your heart decides who it likes and who it doesn't. You can't tell your heart what to do. You can't help who you do or do not fal for. It does it on its own.... when you least suspect it, or even when you don't want it to. [It's the truth]
Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but that other person was too afraid to let you? [Yeah..tell me about it]..Too many of us stay walled because we are too afraid to care too much...for fear that the other person does not care as much, or at all.
FEAR. We tell lies when we are afraid.. afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie.... the thing we fear grows stronger. [Isn't that funny how that works]
Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Jump high. Jump long..Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have, or could have had. No one waits forever..[trust me]
