Brave

      I think this song has really stuck with me, just because I'm super horribly bad at speaking my mind, or speaking up in general. Sure, I can say whatever behind closed doors and before or after I'm talking with someone, but if there is a physical conversation going on of any sorts, I just shut up. I tend to over analyze a lot, and in the process I get stuck on what the other person might think or feel, and then the thoughts come of "what will they think of me once I say it?" Sure, I probably worry far too much, but I can't help it. So I choose to stay silent a lot. I know it doesn't get me anywhere to hold back the things I want to say, and often it probably makes things worse because another person doesn't know what I'm really thinking or feeling without me actually vocalizing it. Sometimes I really just need to take a deep breath and speak up without any filters. Maybe I'll add that to my list of resolutions...
