Fearing the consequences of revealing true thoughts and feelings from "summary" of Wish I Could Tell You by Durjoy Datta
The fear of consequences hung over me like a dark cloud, making it impossible to speak my mind. The thought of revealing my true thoughts and feelings filled me with dread, as I imagined the fallout that would surely follow. What if my words were met with anger or disappointment? What if they shattered the delicate balance of my relationships, leaving me isolated and alone? These questions plagued me, trapping my words behind a wall of silence.
I longed to express myself honestly, to share the truths that lay buried deep within my heart. But the fear of what might happen held me back, whispering caution in my ear with every word left unspoken. I could feel the weight of my unsaid words pressing down on me, a heavy burden that I carried with me wherever I went.
As I struggled with my inner turmoil, I found myself caught in a web of lies and half-truths, unable to break free. Each time I held back my true feelings, I added another layer to the mask I wore for the world, hiding my authentic self behind a facade of false smiles and empty words. I knew that I was living a lie, but the fear of the consequences kept me trapped in my own deception.
I watched as others around me spoke their minds freely, unafraid of the fallout that might come. I envied their courage, wishing that I could do the same. But the fear of what might happen if I revealed my true thoughts and feelings held me back, a silent force that kept me bound in chains of my own making.
And so I remained silent, burying my true self beneath a mountain of unspoken words. The fear of consequences loomed large in my mind, a constant reminder of the price I might have to pay for honesty. But deep down, I knew that the only way to break free was to face my fear head-on, to find the courage to speak my truth no matter what the consequences may be.
