you know, i was that way. closed off - except for a few people.

well, i moved away from everything i knew, to start a new life, and from the beginning, i promised myself to honor who i was - and haven't stopped. I told people about me, my life, things that happened if stuff came up - well, i was for the first time, real with my life experiences. i became my authentic self.

now, i also picked a liberal place to live, which helps because people here are caring and compassionate and help each other with information, direction, and inclusion.

it's pretty diverse too.

I do remember when i was holding everything close to the vest - and i feel for you.

all those years.

why not make your area a little more liberal and speak freely about what is on your mind, and whatever comes up about your experiences, that's the way the ball bounces - you may improve your surroundings just by letting your true self out -

i hope you do - as love awaits ... people care ... you will give others a chance to learn about you - and that is a gift!

love,
night
