Ive been completely overwhelmed lately by people being raw and real and honest and, just, open. In a way that always makes me light up on the inside. Why do we spend so much of our time hiding who we actually are? When, in reality, were probably all having these similar-ish experiences of slight isolation and fear of being known. When do we stop? When do we actually turn to a person next to us (our partners, friends, family, even strangers) and say, This is me. Im messy and sometimes an idiot and I cry and I get overwhelmed. But this is it. What stops us from doing that? I think its scarier to be known than it is to hide. I think thats what it comes down to. Its really just scarier to be known than it is to hide. Which is why I love even more the people that Im reading and interacting with who are open and raw - who dont shy away from being honest about their experiences and their lives. I love those people. They pave the way for growth and truth. And I love those things more than words can say.
