To Be Bold

I was never good at speaking my mind. I went without a lot because I was too shy to ask for what I wanted, or was not bold enough to take it. When I think of about all the brave, beautiful and bold women that fought for our right to speak freely and do whatever we want. I feel like I'm doing an injustice to them. I'm just simply not exercising the right they fought for. I guess the reason I can't be bold is because there is no right or wrong way to be bold. Bold is more so an instinct to me. An instinct I must find someway to tap into. Honestly I envy the women that speak boldly. My best friend for instance , she can say whatever she wants whenever she wants and feels no remorse for it. Where as I feel remorse for the slightest of my mistakes
