In today's world, it seems like we share everything for the world to see. From pictures to videos, 95% of the world population likes to include 100% of the world with our every moves in our day to day life. While the reason behind this is unknown, the advancement of social media sites such as twitter, vine, and instagram only adds to ever grow trend in this phenomenal. Combine this with the fact that everyone has a cell phone makes it easy to share your world with the entire world. Even though it seems like we are more connected thee ever, in reality we are further from the truth in a sense. While we share countless photos and videos for the world to see, the one thing that a growing number of people are afraid to share are their thoughts and emotions with the one person we care about the most. I think there are many reasons behind this but I'm going to focus on just two for the sake of this post.
The first reason is no one what's to be vulnerable to that one person who means the most to them. Now usually the word vulnerable is used to describe a weakness of some kind, but that's not what I mean. In this case, being vulnerable means to share your feelings, and being 100% opened up to the person. These days, expressing/sharing your feelings or even "catching feelings" seems to be considered a weakness. When did it come to a point where feelings is considered a weakness or, in some cases, a disease? To me, it just boils down to that people are afraid to open because they don't want to be hurt and/or get used. While this is a legitimate reason, you can't be afraid of your feelings/love. Just because this may have happened before does not mean it will happen again. True love and feelings won't never hurt you.
The second reason why people don't share feelings because they do not what to seem thirsty. Now if you don't know what the term "thirsty" means, it basically means being overly anxious for something or someone according to the urban dictionary. Now you may be wondering how does fear of seeming thirsty stop people from sharing feelings. Well let's say two people are talking to each other. Now because they don't want to seem thirsty, they will wait for the other person to hit them up first. Over tine, this will affect both parties and no will want to be the first one to start of a conversation. Next thing you know, they will drift apart, stop talking to each other, and their feelings will slowly fade away. Now this may seemed farfetched, but things like this happen more often these days. Now exactly when folks started thinking speaking first or sharing your thoughts is thirsty is beyond me. All I know is that is one of the dumbest thing I ever heard off. If you are afraid of seeing thirsty, just say fuck that and just go for it. You don't want to miss out on a good thing over something society deem is bad.
I guess what I saying is SHARE YOUR FEELINGS, YOUR THOUGHTS, AND BE VULNERABLE TO THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE. If you don't, not only will you be missing out on a possible good thing but you will regret it. I know that's not one of the coolest thing to do these day but screw that. Don't let fear, the past, or society stop you from being happy. As the philosopher know as Drake said in his song From Time, "Who the fuck wants to be 70 and alone?" That's what happens when you don't share your feelings.
