What Still Goes Unspoken?

[Anonymous]

If you could finally say something from the deepest part of your heart, something you’ve held back for a long time to someone you love or care about ( partner, spouse, or even a crush )

what would it be?
what made you keep it to yourself for so long?



# I think sometimes the things we feel most deeply are also the hardest to say.

Not because they’re not real but because they matter too much, or we’re not sure how they’ll be received.

It makes me wonder, what are the words people carry in silence?

Where I am from originally, saying "I love you" to family members is not so much a standard like in the USA or Canada.

As an adult, I have always withheld saying those words to my parents, siblings or immediate family members even though I do mean it.

I have the feeling that this is not necessary to say because I have the impression that the small gestures given when meeting them is enough to show my affection for them.

Also, I get the impression that saying "I love you" 20 times a day to a parent has totally lost its original meaning and is something that is said as a habit just like "bless you" when someone sneezes. I bet nobody gives a thought about those words but it is more of an automatism.

We could have had it all but your fear was stronger than I was.

My aim on GAG is to say the things most people are scared to admit out loud… and flirt a little while doing it 😏

Mine would be:
“I’m terrified of losing you, because you feel like home in a world that never really felt safe.”

I’d keep it quiet out of fear of scaring them off, sounding needy, or giving them the power to hurt me. Deep love makes you vulnerable, and vulnerability is the sexiest… and scariest… thing of all ❤️

Nothing that I haven't already said. I've been very direct and as some say "brutally honest" I keep it as blatantly.
