I'm shy.

Or at least I was.
So for all you shy people, this is for you. Maybe I can be an inspiration or something, it'd make me feel a whole lot better if I could help at least one person.

I'm pretty much a shy person and I have been up to a couple years ago. Lately, I've become a very outgoing person and what I really want to do is help other people get over shyness too. It was hard at first but I guess once you get more comfortable, it gets funner.

So this is a "love letter" that I wrote a while ago that I thought I'd share. It took a lot of guts for me to give this and now I can honestly say, I am so glad I sent it and didn't just keep it locked up. The "embarrassment" can't even compare to the feeling of regret for not sending it. I won't lay in bed and wonder, "what if?" anymore.

For the record, it is signifigantly trimmed down and names have been left out.

"I like you, a whole lot. Probably ever since fourth grade or something. I guess I never really had the guts to tell you 'cause I figured that you never thought of me like that, so I just kept it to myself.
I mean, there are some things I absolutely love about you, like your crazy personality and stuff, plus you're pretty as hell and are probably one of the most attractive people to me. But there are also things I don't like about you, like how you're constantly partying and getting drunk and partying. I can tell you don't really want a steady boyfriend too because you like to just have fun and party with whoever. I mean, thats cool and all, but it's not for me."

I have a couple more that I'll post up when I get home, I'm at school right now and a lot of them are in old notebooks lying around. Maybe I'll even scan a couple.
