I opened up recently, and it feels amazing. This is the first time I can think of that I've turned to poetry out of happiness rather than anguish. I just went back and read every poem I had ever written. My conclusions were thus: The thing that hurt me and caused me pain was never who I was, but rather the fear that people would see the real me. Now, I have shown myself to all the important people, and life has gotten so much better. I knew I couldn't be closed forever, but I never expected openness to feel this good.
