When we leave some things left unspoken, that's when we begin to regret.

There are certain things and moments in life that are beyond the humdrum of this life. These can never be termed as a past or a distant thing. These are always there, in your present. All you have to do is get up and express it until it is gone forever far from you and completely out of your reach. It is not a person’s personality that holds him or her back, but it is actually what he or she thinks.

If something burns your soul to ashes, if you badly crave for something, it is worth fighting for. It is worth living for. It is worth trying for at least once in your life to have no sorrow in the rest of your life.

There will always be a fear of the unknown and a fear of being rejected in life. But if your intentions are right, this fear loses in the battle. This fear calls for a replacement with curiosity. You have got to become conscious of the fact that your unspoken words to the person currently in your life should not become the most important words that should have been said. Struggle. Don’t let the present beautiful things in your life vanish forever. Don’t repeat your mistakes. Learn from them. Don’t bring your mistakes back in your life.

Silence is sometimes loud enough to turn the other person completely deaf towards life, sometimes for good. Relations are often never initiated by the words left unspoken. Have the guts and just say it, “Life is short.”

There is no time to leave important words and thoughts unsaid. Life is truly unpredictable. Life is what you make out of it. Time is not going to wait for you. The situation is not going to wait for you to wake up. One day you will realize it, but it will have ended by that time. Don’t let this happen. Don’t make it late. Regrets in life are forever.

And then sometimes, you just crave for a heartfelt genuine conversation without worrying about anything and everything going around in the world, the life running around and in front of you. If you like someone, tell them before it gets too late because often assumptions are made on unsaid words and feelings which lead to an ultimate cut-off which ends it all. Then it never happened.

Someday this will be gone. There would be no reason to stay. Words left unspoken actions. Those words which you could never express. Unspoken feelings. It has been rightly said that there is nothing, which haunts us like the things you could not say, the feelings you could not express.

In the end, we only regret the chances and risks we didn’t take.
