This really resonates with me - that automatic shrinking when we start to care about someone. The line "We'd rather talk about it than hide, and they'd rather listen than guess" is such a powerful reminder. I've spent so much energy trying to protect others from my "messy parts," not realizing that the distance it creates hurts more than the vulnerability ever could. Thank you for articulating something I've been struggling to understand about myself. Here's to saying the scary things and trusting that the right people want all of us, not just the polished version. 💛
That was so beautiful to read, thank you for sharing - and you‘re more than welcome. Coming to that realisation is such a challenging road, and I admire your bravery in tackling this. Here‘s to standing strong in our truths. 🫶
