A difficult task

I don't know why it is so hard to say the things that are deep down inside our hearts. When you are close to someone, it should be easy to tell them exactly how you feel and to articulate it in a coherent way.

I tried it today and am only 40% sure that I managed to say exactly what I meant to say. I didn't say 100% of what I was really feeling and the more I talked, the harder it became to say it. I felt like a babbling idiot.

Does that make me a coward?
