A clear metaphor that runs through is that talking == loss of a romance.
However, silence == loss of ability to advocate for yourself.

There is no real motivator for this thread. I heard Cool Girl by Dodie for the first time, and it hooked me. =) I want to dedicate some of my online footprint to talking about things that engage me.
