Say It Out Loud / by Alexander Lyadov

Deep down, we know we are capable of:

  • Breaking free from the endless loop of thoughts.

  • Walking a thorny path to reach a cherished goal.

  • Venturing into the dark dungeons of our psyche.

  • Loving someone who seems impossible to love.

  • Accepting the imperfections of our mind, body, or work.

  • Letting go of what we hold most dear, but which holds us back.

  • Spotting an elegant solution to chronic problems right under our noses.

If all of this is true, then why do we hesitate?

Strangely enough, we just need to hear it out loud.

To be sure, we need to repeat it, and then write it down.

This way, the meaning you intend takes on a tangible form.

But there are three conditions to doing this: First, it must be sincere. Second, it must be unwavering. Third, it must be done with unconditional care for you. Yet, you remain silent. That means there are doubts: “Yes, but...”

Those doubts need to be doubted. That’s where Other comes in.

His very presence helps you hear what’s true and what’s false in what you say. When he speaks aloud what you’ve been trying to express, you feel like shouting, “Yes, that’s it!”

Finding such a person isn’t easy because it’s not just about skills, experience, or recommendations. It’s about trust. After all, you are choosing a witness to a life you can't help but live.

Sincerely yours,

-Alexander
