I’m a little nervous to start sharing anything that I write with anybody, I’m afraid that no one will understand or that I’ll be judge for the things that I've done. I’m afraid to pour out all my secrets and shed all my false fronts to be left vulnerable and for people to hate who I am, for what lives inside me. I’m terrified of letting someone in, and I’d never realized this until now. I’ve never realized how much I’ve closed myself off to everyone but my journal, I had always thought of myself as somewhat of an open book, but now as I’m about to open myself up for anyone to see, I realize how closed off I am, and how terrified I am. But Eleanor Roosevelt once said “Do one thing, everyday, that scares you.” Today this is what I’ll do, today I’ll let myself be scared.
