Does Anyone Feel What I Feel?

I often wonder if anyone ever feels anything as strong as what I feel for others. The problem with people is that they are too shy or too scared. Too scared of being made fun of, of being rejected, of simply not being understood, that they forget that the reason of telling someone how we feel about them is simply because we feel what we feel and that everyone deserves to know that someone out there feels just as passionately about them as they might do for other people.

I'm not saying that it's easy, saying what you feel, especially if it means a lot to you, but that's the thing you see, I realised that people, when they really care do take the chance despite of being nervous as fuck about how it may turn out.

But then of course there are the people who simply never muster up the courage to go after something  or someone that they feel really passionately about. All because they are too scared of what others might think. That I think is the saddest thing of all: never having had the guts to even try.

Failure and rejection are a part of life, evidence of the fact that we took the chance, that we did take that leap of faith, but imagine not having tried and lying on your death bed many many years from now and wondering: What if?

Because I'm in a senti mode and because that is still one of the best things anyone has ever done for me.
