One thing I’ve learned is that you should always speak up and say how you feel. I’ve never regretted speaking up. I have, however, regretted not speaking up. I’ve also learned that you can regret decisions you made without knowing how someone else really felt.

If you’re afraid, admit it. If you’re hurt, or frustrated, or confused, or unhappy—say so. If you love someone, make sure they know. Absolutely sure. Beyond any doubt.

If you don’t, you could lose more than you realize.
