Speak your mind even when your voice shakes. It can sometimes be intimidating to speak up, but it's much more fulfilling to speak up than to stifle those words.
Ever wondered where all the things you have never said went to? All those years you have closed in stuff, they have piled up within you. At some point, you will reach a breaking point. It doesn't matter whether that volcano has had ten or fifty years of dormancy
You will reach a point where you can't hold it in anymore, and you will blow up. Blowups never give you a warning. You will never hear a whistle within that it's about to go down. When those words get fed up with being locked up, they will tumble out of your tongue like they have been waiting to do so this whole time.
It will be relieving, like offloading something you have been carrying for decades, but you may cause irreparable damage. You may say hurtful words to people or say things that may be very inappropriate for the situation you will be in.
To avoid blowups and regrets, learn to speak up, even if it's one word at a time, or you will do it in whispers. Don't worry about what other people will think of you.
As long as you are not intentionally trying to crush someone else, always say the words on your lips. No one else can do it for you. Only you can let them out. Say what you feel and what you think.
Let others know your opinions, why you disagree with them, or what you want. What you have to say matters. It doesn't matter what anyone else told you or made you feel before. Our 'speak quotes' will give you the courage you need to speak up your mind.
