I made a new tumblr… kristensconfessions.tumblr.com

follow me there.

I’m a huge nerd, I know this… (this may sound crazy, but I don’t curr)
After Taylor Swift’s Fearless album was released I became very fond of the word FEARLESS. I spent a whole year working on being more fearless… however you do that. Fearless for me was letting things go wherever they wanted to go, not trying so hard to control things. And for a while it was great, but I may have become too fearless (if at all possible). I got caught up in the moment of things. Pushed things aside that bothered me, because I thought everything was good enough that I could see past those little things. That doesn’t work. Now it’s time to get things back to how they were before, and for that I found a new album and new word (or two).
SPEAK NOW.
I’ve always known that I’m very passive. Somewhat of a pushover. Meh. I don’t speak up when things bother me, because I hate confrontation. And, well, I’ve learned that when you let things just keep boiling up inside of you without saying anything, it doesn’t end well. That’s a problem. So here’s to speaking up more and saying what I really mean…

“Real life is a funny thing, you know.
In real life, saying the right thing at the right
moment is beyond crucial. So crucial, in fact,
that most of us start to hesitant for fear of
saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
But lately what I’ve begun to fear more than that
is letting the moment pass without saying
anything. I think you deserve to look back on
your life without this chorus of resounding voices
saying, ‘I could’ve but it’s too late now’. So
there’s a time for silence, and there’s a time for
waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel,
and you so clearly know what you need to say,
you’ll know it. I don’t think you should wait.
I think you should speak now.” -Taylor Swift

Most people think of unconditional love to mean “I couldn’t love you any less, no matter what.” But what I think unconditional love means is “I couldn’t love you any more, no matter what.” Either way, it sounds neat.
