There is nothing sadder to an expressive soul than remaining silent....

We are all expressive and need to learn to express ourselves freely.

The courage to speak seems to be a common theme for so many.

I heard a quote that has stuck with me and I believe is so true…. “The quietest of people have the most to say”.

And I feel it is true because so many words go left unsaid.

Have you ever not said what you truly wanted to say incase it wasn’t going to be ‘received’ well by others.

So you chose to stay silent.

Or wanted to express that someone hurt you but it never feels like the right time?

So you chose to stay silent.

Or wanted to say sorry for something you did but you left it too late and now it seems awkward to bring it up?

So you chose to stay silent.

Or you were so angry about an unfair situation but you didn’t want to cause a scene?

So you chose to stay silent.

Or you had a different opinion or idea to share but you were afraid people would judge you for thinking differently.

So you chose to stay silent.

If we continue to choose to not speak our truth we are not honouring ourselves.

We are not growing.

We are not learning.

We are not valuing our experience.

We are just existing.

And there is nothing sadder to an expressive soul than remaining silent.

Be brave.

Start small.

Speak from your heart.

Start to share yourself with the world and you’ll be surprised how much you actually have to say.
