THE WHAT-IF IN OUR HEADS

The essential elements that I think are needed to "confess" and "sustain"  the most complicated feeling of all called "LOVE" are "Courage" and "Efforts". Infact, "It" demands these two elements.

Lack of these elements don't allow confession of love which then obviously results in "What-If" in our heads / "REGRETS" in our minds. I think it is sensible that people should atleast once sum up the courage in their lives and honestly confess their feelings to the one they really consider special. This act could yield a positive or a negative result. If the result turns out to be positive then it is undoubtedly "The Best" but in case it is negative , then too it is not that bad as people really consider it to be.

People relate the negative response directly to rejection which is not appropriate. It should rather be considered as a fact that "It was never meant to be this way." I know it is very difficult to simply believe this fact or move on in the very first trial. Undoubtedly, it feels really bad if the love isn't reciprocated from the other end. It definitely makes the person feel shattered. Though the pain felt is unmeasurable and unbearable, doesn't it frees the person experiencing the pain from the regrets/ what-ifs??? Doesn't it provides the satisfaction to the person that atleast he/she summed up the courage and confessed his/her feelings to the special one??? Doesn't it makes one feel that for the rest of one's life one doesn't needs to live with the regret of not confessing his/her love to someone special. In other words, the negative response liberates the person from the "What - If I tried??" situation. Also, it gives a clear cut picture to a person i.e. to move on in one's life.

In my opinion, all it takes is a little courage and  an effort to confess one's feelings to someone special irrespective of what the other person would think or feel. Isn't it better to bear the pain of not being loved by the other person and live with it rather than living with the "What - If I tried" situation for the rest of  the life???
