The sentiments of ‘Nice Things’ are some which many listeners will undoubtedly relate to, wherein we feel like we are quick to quit while we’re ahead or afraid of falling too fast or too hard. We put it to Gia to offer some advice to those who relate to her lyrics.
Here’s what she had to share:
I definitely don’t have all the answers but I have been working on these three steps!
-
Embrace VulnerabilityIt's totally natural to feel scared of falling too fast or too hard, but vulnerability is where the magic happens. When you let yourself be open and honest, you allow the other person to see the real you. Embrace those moments of vulnerability, even when they feel uncomfortable, because they can lead to the most genuine and meaningful connections.
-
Trust Your FeelingsIt's so easy to second-guess yourself and wonder if your feelings are valid or if they’re reciprocated. But your feelings are real and deserve to be acknowledged. Trust that what you feel is important and worth exploring. Give yourself permission to experience the joy and excitement of a new relationship without overthinking or doubting yourself.
-
Take Things One Step at a TimeIt’s tempting to either rush things or pull back entirely when emotions run high. Instead, try to take things one step at a time. Enjoy the present moment and the journey of getting to know someone new. Focus on building a strong foundation through shared experiences and honest communication. By taking it slow and steady, you allow the relationship to develop naturally and healthily
When I wrote ‘Nice Things,’ I was reflecting on my own fears and doubts. If I could go back, I’d remind myself that it's okay to be scared but not to let that fear hold me back from experiencing something beautiful. To anyone relating to these sentiments, remember that love is about taking risks, and it's worth it to let yourself feel what you feel.
