Talk Personal

Why now? Why now?

Do I really have to do this?

Is that what I need?

Can I choose not to?

Will it be safe?

These are some of the questions that may pop for some of you while talking to someone. Opening yourself all out there not only makes you feel vulnerable but scared about safety at times.

The details may contain feelings of hurt and sometimes remind you of memories of the past. However, sometimes it’s a good idea to let it out and empty your bucket. It could be to anyone – your friend, therapist, partner, or family. It’s not necessary to share everything but somethings.

World is a lonely place when there is no one to share your hearts out. Communication is very important and integral to all communities. It is not limited humans but for everyone that exists in nature.

Happy weekend!
