Thursday
"Hi Beautiful". Something that I don't get to hear every day, two words that most of the time don't mean that much to the person uttering them, but that can make a tough day so much brighter. I might be very self conscious, but to hear a positive comment can make my day. This on the other hand stands as a great weakness as a negative comment easily can ruin my mood. It is fairly easy to say nice things. Doesn't take that much effort or thought. And it pays off. I often wondered why we don't show appreciation of people that we like. I mean, of course of some we do. We tell our friends that they matter, the family is always reminded about it, but those who are not that close but still exists in your life. What do I do to tell them that I appreciate them? Not much, maybe a smile and a wink now and then, but no words to describe that their presence in my life makes it a bit better.
I wonder what I am scared of. Will I become more vulnerable if I tell people that they matter to me? Maybe it is just a habit. I am not used to telling people good stuff. I can bluntly give negative remarks, but I am not nearly as good at giving positive comments.
That needs to change.
