Silence is destroying me

Actions speak louder than words. 
My greatest fear in my recent days is that my silence has been screaming. That my silence is telling everyone everything that I have needed to say for so long, but wouldn't. There are words which I could never bring myself to say out loud and that has been my greatest mistake. I waited until it was too late. I never said anything. No words were spoken, and they should have been. 
Actions speak louder than words. 
I am still at this very moment reckoning with myself. Are there words that I still need to speak? Have I left the last few words of the last chapter unwritten, rendering my attempts to begin a new chapter futile? But then I think, what the hell could I possibly need to hear that has not already been made crystal clear to me? Actions speak louder than words. 
One thing I know: something in my heart is still not at peace. My spirit is still unsettled. I long to move on. I long for this ache to be gone. I long for the fog to be lifted. I want to charge ahead towards a bright future, but I can't right now. Something in my gut is stopping me. I need to be free. I can't take back the words I never said (lupe fiasco) and now I'm choking on them.
I need my confidence back. I'm done with this scared little girl. I hate this inescapable feeling of vulnerability. I'm done fearing rejection. God made me to be amazing. He made me to be strong. Am I right now? 
I am the opposite. But I know, change is coming.

It's time for me to root out what is holding me back from being all He has made me to be. I was laughing the other day with some one who really understands my humor, and vice verse. I really laughed. And not like a laugh that's just for the sake of laughing, but a laugh that just kind of erupts from whatever it is inside you that makes you you. I realized that those kinds of laughs have been far and few for me. I am feeling a sobering, dark damper on my soul again and I need it to stop. God made me to be funny. God made to bring joy to others. He made me to laugh, love, and be loved.
