The word Yes and no are simple words but not easy to use in the situations we go through in Life, especially when it's matters of love.
They’re only three and two letters long, but they mean so much if it's used in the context of romantic and non romantic relationships and we usually don’t recognise how much impact it'll make until we’ve choosen the wrong answer. If someone asks if you’re happy, if someone asks if you want to try again, if someone asks if you’re sure about leaving. The answer you give demands way more honesty than we’re usually ready to give. It’s way easier to say I don’t know or change the subject when the truth is you wanted to leave that person.
If you stay silent or give half answers, that builds up resentment. Even worse, you’ll just stay stuck in a situation that wasn’t working for months ago. We treat yes as if it’s temporary and that we can take it back whenever we want. We sometimes think no is more for not right now or that you want a different question.
The harder part about loving is that we want to say yes because it seems nicer and won't hurt anyone. And we don’t want to say no because it sounds like it’s done and can’t be fixed. But know that both of those words require you to know for sure what it is that you actually want and I think most of us don’t know that by now.
It's really not easy committing to either one of those answers. Actually it can be scary when you are out under some pressure or emotional manipulation because when you commit to an answer, you have to deal with the consequences if it's the wrong one. Even the right answers will have it's problems but in the long run you'll free yourself from a bondage.
