“Real life is a funny thing, you know. In real life, saying the right thing, at the right moment is beyond crucial. So crucial in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing, at the wrong time. But lately what I've begun to fear more than that, is letting the moment pass without saying anything. I think you deserve to look back on your life without this chorus of resounding voices saying "I could've" but it's too late now. So there's a time for silence, and there's a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel and you so clearly know what you need to say, you'll know it. I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now.”

“I’ve never regretted letting someone go who was taking the piss, although sometimes I miss them for a couple of months.
