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.
