Sometimes our mind, whether justifiably or unjustifiably, focuses only on all the negative “what ifs,” preventing us from moving forward, filling us with insecurities and fears — often irrational ones — trapping us inside imaginary cages of its own making, leading to self-sabotage and inaction. Perhaps, because of negative experiences from the past, we become afraid to trust and love again, and as a result, we do not give new people the chance even to get to know them.
But why don’t we think about all those positive “what ifs”? What if it is worth it? What if they are genuinely a good person? What if they have no intention of playing with your soul or hurting you? What if they are one of those rare people who, if you deserve it, stay by your side for a lifetime? What if they do not lie, do not play games, and truly mean what they say? What if the answer is yes? What if they have the same positive feelings for you but are simply too shy to make the first move? What if the feelings are mutual? What if they love you? What if they love you exactly as you are, precisely for who you are? What if they love you sincerely, without selfish motives?
If you never take the risk, how can you ever know? If you never take that small step, how will you ever find out…? If you never risk a little, how can you ever be sure? Hiding inside your “closets” certainly will not help you. Neither will living according to “what people will say.”
