When You're Ready

Dear Pipsqueaks,

The pride in being able to drill out any secret has, in many ways, been how my "Drama Queen" self functioned. Though, it isn't always about gossip - mind you, it's only because I cared enough to ask.

However, it's about time to set that personality aside. Why? Is it not true that if one never asks, there will never be an answer? And if one must know, one must ask?

Yet, I fail to remember that as human beings, we are naturally programmed to bond and to crave for social interactions. How does that relate to this whole "asking questions" you're thinking to yourself? Well, look at it this way. Do you always wait until your best friend asks you a question before you tell her things? Do you hold on to information, so to share it only when someone asks? No, you don't. As social beings, we can't wait to tell someone before it burst out! At least, to tell someone that matters.

In other words, I don't want to feel like some annoying paparazzi, or some interrogator forcing facts out of you -anymore, anyways. From now on, I will patiently wait for you to come and tell me yourself. I will no longer chase after you to only to be deemed as the nosy one. It won't be easy, but our relationship deserves my efforts. So here goes experiment "Giving Space". Hopefully, it won't grow us apart in the process. Fingers crossed.

Just because I don't ask doesn't mean I don't care. 
It's because I do that I don't.
