Opening up

I feel like I'm on a journey of self-discovery that I can't do alone but I'm not sure I have it in me to put my trust in others.

Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive - Goo Goo Dolls

To cry is to know that you're alive - HIM

To stand on the top of a tower block and look down or cut yourself to see how much it burns aren't half as hard as acknowledging feelings.

To feel weak is stronger than not feeling weak, because avoiding feelings of weakness does not amount to strength.

Opening up is hard and it makes you feel vulnerable, like a hedgehog crossing the road at night. But opening up is good and maybe we should all learn how to.
