Say What You Wanna Say





(Below opinions are only for the close relationships, the ones that you really care about, the ones in which you are respected and cared for. Relationships where you are disrespected, the ones that add stress or drama to your life - all I can say is - burn the bridges and move on, life is too short and too beautiful to spend a single moment on negative people)

Here are my five reasons why I think saying what's on your mind is always the best way to go:

1. Silence is as good as approval. If you disapprove of something but not say anything about it, it is as good as enabling it.

2. People are not mind-readers. While you may think things are obvious, people might not view the world from your perspective.

3. You might not be the only one thinking about it.

4. Speaking your mind can be a huge stress relief. I am incapable of not speaking my mind, I have a great deal of anxiety if for some reason I don't speak. It drives me crazy. It becomes this whole thing that would have not even existed had I just spoken up. Speak up!

5. You would never have to say, “I wish I had said…”
Obviously, there is a way to put forth what you want to say. The above points are not applicable for saying just the disapproved things or just the things that are hurting you but the good things too :-).
