On Being Hesitant To Express Something

Have you ever been so hesitant to express something?
In my case, I am a little hesitant to write this because I could see the point where people might not get this message right. It felt like there is no point of writing this at all.

Of course, the past event is the cause of all of this. Some people take our opinion in a wrong way. The memory of those who took my affection for granted is holding me back to express tenderness. And for sure, the memory of those "friends" who accused me for doing something that I have never meant to do made me think twice, do they even deserve my attention?

We all have our own story why we get here, but one thing that we should always remember is
"Their problem is theirs, not yours. Your problem is yours, not theirs"

It's their problem to take you in a wrong way, but it's your problem to over think.
It's their problem to take you for granted, maybe they don't understand sincerity. But it's totally your problem if you stop being kind.
It's their problem to start the fire, but it's totally your problem if you got the ill feeling about it.
And so on...and so on...

What we can do is to fix our own problems. Our main problem is we are hesitant, that we over think, that we are afraid. Acknowledge it first, accept it, and let it go.

When I become hesitant I shift my focus and be grateful to feel hesitant. Why the heck we should be grateful for being hesitant? I see it as an opportunity for growth. I withdraw for a while not because I want to escape, but I want to shift my energy to be more positive. If I wasn't hesitant maybe I would just act aggressively to anything. When I withdraw I start to think those who matter more in my life. Why we should think about those who did us wrong while we could just focus our energy to those people we love?

So yeah, just keep being kind. As you forgive, you release anything that have held you back. Do your own part and leave the rest to the universe!
