If you’re afraid to love a person because of friendship, you have two choices. Either say what you feel and let love take its place or forever hide the love under a friendship full of pretensions.

If you find yourself in this unfortunate situation of falling for a close friend, my advice is to always just tell them. Yes, you’re risking a lot but you owe it to yourself to take those risks. In order for anything good to happen in your life, you have to be the one to propel it forward. You have to take care of yourself and not worry so much about what other people will say or think. You know what happens to people who never took chances or were always frozen in fear?
