this is something that i came up with, but then again, its something i ask myself sometimes. so please give any comments, i would highly appreciate it.

Why do we choose to die a slow death in silence rather than confess our feelings? Perhaps being alone in the dark isn't nearly as terrifying as betrayal.

with my own relationship with this guy, my angel of mine, i dont have regrets of accepting his love when he confess right away that he likes me and in the long run, the friendship blossomed into a serious one.

so you guys out there. Dont choose to die a slow death in SILENCE rather
than CONFESS your FEELINGS

DO IT YUNIE!!! I don't care if it's you or someone else that is trying to tell this someone that they love them, from experience I would've regretted not telling anyone my feelings even if wasn't love. Not telling anyone any of your feelings gets hard (you need to let it out to someone you can trust if you can't trust your best friend that's okay go to someone else that you trust). Nobody will know you any better if you don't tell them your feelings. No one can read minds, I have learned that now. So now when I get done writing how I feel on this notebook now they will now how I felt because I want them to know how I felt and just not tell them at all. But if you need to tell them now rather than what I am doing waiting a little awhile until I give it them(I am slow writer) Then tell before it's to late. Don't live in misery because you regretted not telling them. And You will never regret telling them that's what makes you stronger.

move on! do it! eventually, u will realize that there's nothing to choose and to compare...goodluck!

I SAY LET'S LIVE IN THE LIGHT FOR ALL TO SEE. FOR IT IS BETTER TO HAVE LOVE AND LOST THEN TO HAVE NEVER GIVE LOVE A CHANCE AT ALL.

Geez, all of these points are so true. Yuna, marvellous person, thank you for bringing this up. Cause I can guarantee that almost every single person has been faced with this dilemma either in similar situations or completely different circumstances, whatever it is, the dilemma remains the same. Choosing to speak up or smother it. Depending on the situation, sometimes it's easier to say it then not too. Confiding in someone is my biggest obstacle, I'd feel comfortable sharing my thoughts with a random stranger than with someone I know and care about. Shame and pride have alot to do with it, as well as rejection, betrayal all of it. But it takes someone will alot of balls to speak up. Anyways there's my rantings for the day. LOL. Take it easy & hopefully you chose the one that was best for you. Though come to think of it, sacrificing love to enable the best outcome is also a pretty ballsy act to do as well. You haven't really given up, you've just let go.
