What’s a girl to do? When we are constantly being told to say how we feel, what happens when what we feel is not what other people want to hear? We are always being told to say what we mean, and mean what we say, but what if what we say ends up being just plain mean? We can’t have a filter on our feelings, therefore should we have a filter when it comes to saying how we feel? If when we finally get the courage to say what’s really on our minds, what happens when it gets shot down? Should we just resign and hold our tongues, and never express what’s truly on our minds again? The answer is no. If others simply can not tolerate what you have to say, then they never really cared in the first place. If they can’t handle the uncensored version of your thoughts, then they can’t handle the uncensored version of you. The real you, with no frills or fuss, without all the excessive worry over being or saying the right thing, without all the strategically plotting of being the perfect girl. The girl he will fall for. It’s always best to say what’s on your mind, holding back only bottles up emotions that need to be expressed. I believe emotions are a form of expression, our personalities are canvases just waiting to be displayed to the world. To some people these canvases can display beautiful creations, for others the artwork might be blurred by ugly colors or weird splotches of paint. In the end, there is always a price to pay for being completely blunt and honest and saying what’s on our mind, the question is are we willing to pay the cost. Are we willing to risk losing respect, pride, or more importantly a friend because we have the utter need to constantly express what’s on our mind? That answer is left up to you. In the end we can only be who we are and no one else. We are all beautiful canvases that have been painted with distinct colors and patterns, to some we are works of art, to others we may be nothing more than rubbish, but to a very special someone you will indeed be a masterpiece.
