It’s so important to speak what’s in your heart. So often we keep quiet or soften our words so as not to create friction and pain. And sometimes we are so blinded by what others may think, or experience such fear that we remain silent. But what does that solve in the end? Are we not entitled to our opinions, have we not experienced truthful, damaging realities? It’s so crucial to use your voice. I don’t care if it takes you a month, 5 years, 10, 20, to express what is in your heart. If you have only found the courage now, then fantastic, use it. If you still haven’t, don’t worry, you have it in you. Everyone does. Life is short. Say what you mean, and mean what you say.  Don’t wait until it’s too late to reveal your deepest desires or wounds. If someone matters to you, let them know. If you have been wronged by someone, let them know. It takes courage to speak the truth. We all seem to satisfy ourselves with half-truths, or convince ourselves that something doesn’t bother us as much as it does. Whatever you bury will resurface, and will gain strength every moment you avoid it or push it aside. This is your life. Do you understand that? This is YOUR LIFE. Every moment counts, every moment is of utmost importance. Don’t wait until you are at the end of it to face your demons. Chances are you wont have the time or resources to vanquish them by then. But you have now. Now is all you’ll ever have. And that’s a beautiful thing. So what are you going to choose to do with this moment? Are you going to fill it with meaningless things and emotions? You can, it’s absolutely your choice. Or will you choose to be bold and brave, and face whatever is holding you back so that you can grow exponentially and enjoy life free of the chains that bind you? Your choice. The moment is now.
