LINK: be yourself… or not
Do you think it’s possible to be completely yourself around another person?
I’d like to think so… but if I’m being honest, I’m not sure I’d ever allow myself. to be 100% around anyone. There’s always that small insecure part of me that holds back—afraid of being judged or misunderstood. Acceptance sounds amazing in theory, but it is terrifying in practice. It means being seen, exposed, vulnerable… seeing the good, bad, beautiful, and the fucking ugly
For the most part, I know I’m a good person. Not perfect, but I try. I try to be kind, to be fair, and think of things from another perspective. But I have my desires, quirks, indecisiveness that vacillates, and all the oddities that make me who I am. I’m also a romantic—hopeless. I want to believe that one day, someone will make me feel safe enough to let my guard down completely.
Please tell me that I’m not the only one…
