thank you

Sometimes, everyonce in a while, we find it hard to express ourselves.
Our ideas, our emotions, our fantasies and dreams, even the things we hold sacred or holding an indirect meaning to ourselves. In my own mind I think one of the hardest things to communicate is gratitude. This is of course, not the simple handshake or thank you.
I mean those times when someone does something for you, and all you want to do is break down and relate to them how wonderful the thing they did was. We are overcome by this huge emotional need to thank and convey true gratitude to them. But rarely do we actually do this. I think this is mostly because we do not want to make a scene, and don't want to feel awkward. Although, this might also be a protection for our necks. We might not do it because we are afraid to let this thing out which is so close to our hearts. Perhaps that person will take our open heart and stab a hole in it with a sad remark or a snappy attitude. We don't know what will happen to us and letting our guard down like that might just be asking for trouble. Who knows, it's illogical that someone would do that, but it's also possible. But hey, people are irrational too. Seeing that it's more likely to get hit by lightning then be attacked by a shark, and were scared

We can be sure of one thing though, we know what were like and most people aren't all that different then ourselves, so they probably would react the way we would. Lets keep that in mind.
