Why should you decide either to say it or hold it back? If saying it for the best, why are you having second thoughts? Maybe some things are not that simple even though it look so simple and easy to others.

There will always be that deciding moment that you need to face. A lot of thinking and running possible scenarios inside your head. Some might repeating itself over and over again.

Ultimately, it is all up to you. The decision making is always your call. What happened afterward is based on your action. Whether your action favors you or against you.

However, there are few things you can consider if you should say it or not.

Assessing the scale of it. It can be a tiny thing or gigantic. How your decision will impact your life? Will it ruined your life? Or will it just make your heart ache a little? Or you feel it like a mosquito bite? Once you assessed the scale of impact, perhaps you will have a clearer mind to decide.

Be brave and be responsible. There are times when you need to brave yourself and be responsible on your choices. Having to make decisions means you are living your life, you can never really run away from it. If you want to get strong you need to face hardship.

Love yourself more. If you keep considering ‘should you say it or not’ again and again. You will be troubled by it. You will always think about it and disrupting your healthy thoughts and your productivity. Why torturing yourself?
