I am not hiding myself but don't get enough courage to expose it. I don't know how to express it in words. But what you have written is true about myself also.
Some time I tried to encourage myself to go and express what I am but Next time I thought is it necessary to express all my life.
But what you have shared is really inspired me to express myself .
Thanks for sharing also thankful that what you have written make my heart feel very relaxed that here is in the community where I feel like myself . Great great. Touches my heart.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. We do sound much alike. I didn't think I was hiding before either. It was my normal so I couldn't see it like I do now, until I stopped.
I also had a very hard time expressing myself before. Especially in person. That's why I started writing. Writing just for myself was easier and helped me find clarity in my mind so then, eventually, I could express myself out loud with clarity. Writing just for myself is still how I approach all of my posts...as if no one is ever going to see it. It's just for me. Then I can relax and let the words flow. Then often in the end I read it, tweak it, and find parts of it maybe good enough to share.
Thanks again. 🙏🏽
Thanks for your great words and inspiration.
