It sounds like you already know the answer 🙂
I think it’s important to say that if we don’t take chances in life we don’t grow… Always follow your heart and never let fear get in the way of speaking your truth. My advice is to enjoy the moment of you expressing your love and be open, inviting and curious to what may follow. You sound like a beautiful soul and the people you love are very lucky to be loved by you, even if they don’t know it… Yet! 🙂
