I guess I just keep thinking about "older" people (those in their eighties on up) and I've heard them say over and over again about how they wished they would have taken more risks... especially in love. It takes courage. Courage doesn't mean that you're not afraid, it just means that you do it in spite of being afraid.
Again, you are so right. I try to 'show' it in other ways, without saying it outright. And that speaks louder, right? the message still comes across, without saying anything.
Oh, Christine, Christine! What if he is doing the same thing? What if he is thinking/feeling/doing the exact same thing!?
I know this is HUGE. I know it plays to all of your own insecurities and fears and all of that jazz. Just remember... that it is working through/dealing with fear and uncertainty that we grow.
I'm not advocating one way or another what you do or do not. I just want to give you some things to think about. You already have all of the answers. YOU already know what to do...
