Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why.”

“Real life is a funny thing you know. 

In real life saying the right thing, at the right moment is beyond crucial. 

So crucial in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. 

But lately what I’ve began to fear more than that, is letting the moment pass with saying anything. 

I think you deserved to look back on your life without this chorus of resounding voices saying, I could of but it’s too late now. 

So there’s a time for silent, and there a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say. 

You’ll know it. 

I don’t think you should wait. 

I think you should speak now.” 

― Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift
