I’ve always preferred to be the one brave enough to send the message or say the thing than to be the one who's scared to respond. Avoidance makes space for regret, and if I face the fear, then it's easier to leave behind those feelings, regardless of whether or not they produce the response I want. I like having the comfort of leaving something where it is, knowing that I've said everything I have to say. It feels much better than struggling over whether or not I should have said something.

Because you’re going to get your answer one way or another ! Stop holding yourself back from living CRAZY , intense , and REAL. only way To be a winner is to be an absolute LOSER sometimes. Idc how bad I feel about not getting a response at least I won’t be on a rocking chair wishing I Said more… Also in: telling your crush you like them , weight lifted off your soul

The one that’s been sitting in your notes app for days, waiting. The one that makes your heart race just thinking about pressing ‘send’. Putting your vulnerable self out there is terrifying - but damn, it can feel so rewarding.

Remote, cucumber, bag of chips, house keys. Not sure they get anything out of it, but they just seem happy to be kept in the loop.

It bums me out whenever someone's trying to say something but cuts themselves off or says "nevermind" because they assume that they're wasting time. Think it through, or let it come back to you. 3 years ago, I started saying, "Talk through the thought" with my friend, and I think it's made me more patient, and I've ended up hearing/saying some cool shit (or at least some funny shit) that I would've probably missed out on otherwise.
