I recently made a declaration. Declarations, in my opinion, have potential be rare, raw. I almost feel like Julia Roberts in Notting Hill where she stands in the book shop saying ‘I’m just a girl asking a boy to love me’. (Granted my declaration was not nearly that simple or even remotely close to that … and nor am I going to tell you what it was because that’s not the point!) I’m guessing she felt so unsure and afraid, because of course with all declarations there are many consequences – negative and positive. To be really honest, I was expecting myself to feel the exact same way… small.
However, that wasn’t the case at all to my situation! Actually, even before I had made my declaration out loud I felt so much relief. I took some time, really thought through me and knew where I wanted to go. Yes, even my declaration will have positive and negative consequences and I, of course, want the positive side but I’m no longer frightened by the idea of the negatives. Why? I don’t really know, because it’s the same situation with the same paths as a few months ago but maybe it’s different because I said it should. Or maybe it’s different because I know more or other information.
Either way, whatever the reason… whatever the situation, I encourage you to make your own declaration. I don’t need to know what it is, but if we are anything alike, then maybe at least take the time to sit and think about it – the it that you have been putting off. Who knows… before you know, maybe you’ll be dancing in the shower again! :)
