Telling people how I feel has always been a struggle for me, especially in romantic relationships. In this episode of Growing Pains, I tell a super vulnerable story about when I was left heartbroken two days after telling my ex that I loved him. Since that relationship, I've learned a lot about the importance of speaking my mind and being honest in ANY relationship. I used to hold back so much in fear of being rejected, embarrassed, or not liked. By holding back this much I've sacrificed not being myself. It wasn't until that breakup that I realized enough is enough. Since then, I committed to being more confident in myself within relationships. For two years now, I am the happiest I have ever been in a romantic relationship with my current partner. I really think it's because I've learned to communicate, speak my mind, and really be myself. In this episode, I share the importance of telling people how you feel, even when it's difficult.
