I directly asked a dude out before. I directly asked two of our classmates if they were dating before. I directly asked a friend why she’s being annoying before. I directly asked a friend why he cheated before.

Point is, I’ve grown enough to learn that not knowing something and not taking chances are pointless; gossip is for the weak and barbaric; and people who do stupid things and can’t defend why they do those things are not worth my time.

Life is too short to live with the fear of what-ifs. Step up, and ask away.
