Random Thoughts

I wonder why it is that people are afraid to show they care. Or maybe it's just me in particular.

In my case, I think it has something to do with my mother always telling me to keep my feelings to myself... to never show the object of my affection how I feel... Because if he knew and did not feel the same way, it would be embarrassing.

And she's right. Almost always. That's how I managed to keep much of my pride intact during the course of my luckless romantic life.

But then again... at moments like this... I wish I had enough courage, not to shout my feelings at the rooftop for all the world to hear (I'm not that stupid), but just enough to let him know that he has a place in my heart.
