If you really love someone, don’t be afraid to tell them. Your fear stops you from being as kind and helpful as you truly want to be. Because you are afraid and you give in to the fear you exhibit the become brash, short-tempered, and selfish…all because you don’t want to get your feelings hurt.

You have to give them your true emotions. If you love them so much then there is no reason that you cannot trust them. Choose not to be cold to the one you care about. Choose to open. Assume that your loved one will return the sentiment.

Your effort to hide your weakness for the other person only adds to the discomfort. This act that you put on stops the enjoyable part of your relationship to surface. Kindness is not weakness. The ability to show kindness is one of the strongest emotions we have to offer. Show your loved one your strength and allow them to return the favor.
