This Is Everything I Didn't Say

Introduction

In life, we got a lot of things we hold back. Dreams, feelings, words, tears, name it. Even if we are already given chances to speak up for ourselves, we tend to remain silent. Maybe because we're too afraid to lose something we have now. An ideal situation we don't know why we can't let go. A reason why we can't risk change.

And even if we know that someday we might regret not saying everything we should've said, not feeling everything we could've felt, not living that dream we should've lived, not crying when we should've cried, we hold back anyway. Call ourselves cowards. Well yea maybe we're cowards. We might be a little regretful, yes, but we'll keep everything to ourselves even if everything is messed up now and those dreams, feelings, words and tears are too late for now.

Every chapter here contains words I failed to say, feelings I failed to show, dreams I failed to pursue and open letters I held back with my tears dedicated to those persons I failed before and those who will never ever hear from my lips these things it didn't verbalize.

So, dear whoever you might be,

I hope someday you'll find this and know that this is everything I didn't say.
