Don't ask the question if the answer will break your heart
Don't ask the question if you are afraid of the answer. Don't ask the question if you want everything to stay the same. Don't ask the question if you know the answer and want it to be different. Don't ask the question if you just don't want to know, grow, change, discover, be accountable, understand, be understood, want more, want less, want. And then there is this... Don't ask the question if the answer will break your heart.
Questions can and often do, change everything
The answer is what you are afraid of, isn't that right, dear reader? Status quo, a remote and disparaging sense of control over circumstances keeps a would be adventurer in this world from asking the questions that can and often do, change everything. When daring to ask, we put ourselves in a vulnerable position. Once the question is out there, waiting for the answer can feel like a sword poised between you and another, readied to sever relationship.
How will they respond? Will this be the end of you and me if my question pushes the right or wrong buttons? What will be left of us if what I ask for and what you want to give are two different things? Will there be a meeting of the minds and in more delicate and intimate relationship, a meeting of hearts? Don't ask and you will never know but the risk you take is living with this constant nagging feeling of just not knowing.
Not knowing is like mosquito bites demanding attention
The not knowing is like mosquito bites that randomly and frequently demand your attention with an itch that does not go away despite your scratching. The bite site scratching is the emotional equivalent of thinking, talking and worrying about a situation without asking the right person or people the burning questions that can give you clarity. Asking the questions means you get to decide next steps, depending on the answers of course. It takes courage to be bold and brave enough to ask for what you want in this life. The asking isn't the dangerous part, it is the aftermath, the figuring out where do we or perhaps where do I go, alone, from here? It is aloneness that can be terrifying and yet, this can become our strength because the door of possibilities stands open as an invitation to something new and different inside of us.
Do you dare ask the questions?
I don't know what questions you need answered dear reader. You know though, don't you? Only ask the question if you are willing to accept that the answer may change everything, forever. I must add this: Fear has the last say if you never ask and it will be an ever present companion, commandeering your life in untold ways. Ask, and yea shall receive. You are strong enough to know the answers and, live in The Truth.
