When Loving Means Telling.

There are basically two types of people in the world: the active and the passive.
Without a doubt, the active fights for whatever they want, even in the context of love. They see someone they like, they pursue him/her and maybe win him/her in the end. However if it turns out unsuccessful, they would pick themselves up and console themselves that, possibly in the future they might meet someone more suitable and compatible for them. Fast, quick and no hesitation. That's how the actives act.
.
On the other hand, the passive waits for things to happen. They love to be in their comfort zone and waiting has become a habit for them. If they see someone they like, they wait, and they wait. That's all they do. And they all hoping that maybe one day, the person he/she likes would miraculously discover their love. However, this is often not the case. So why do passives still wait and mope? This is because they are afraid of the word R-E-J-E-C-T-I-O-N. However, there is nothing to be afraid of, like the quote says, "There is one in the world for everybody." The person who rejected you might not be the right one for you, that's all.

Just by expressing your love will not hurt. If under some circumstances and for some reasons, they can't accept your love. Just be happy that in this lifetime, you have experienced what it is like to feel your heart flutter or to smile dreamily like a fool. And at the same time, you let him/her feel thankful that in this whole wide world, there is someone who acknowledges and appreciates their existence. So even if it don't work out, from the big picture, it is actually a win win situation.

Sometimes, it's now or never. Don't let the opportunity slip by. Because the one you love, can't read your mind. So this goes out to all my friends out there (many of them in fact) who are passive and pessimistic! I know it's easier said than done, because I'm a passive person as well. But I will try to change. Will you?
