Secrets. We all have our secrets, and I find it so interesting.
We all have our surfaces, our book covers. And on the inside we have a little that gives an overview about who we are. But there are parts that get left out, parts that maybe no one ever gets to read or even enjoy. Whether its an insecurity, a feeling, something that haunts us, there is always a part of ourselves that we keep close and hidden.
These are the parts that interest me the most. The storms inside of each one of us, those are what I want to chase. I can't admit to hanging my secrets out in the sun, personally, but I do enjoy when someone trys to hang them out to dry. Someone working their hands into me and trying to pull out these parts of me that I only allow myself to hold. Sharing them is hard, but exciting. It's like doing something dangerous but your adrenaline doesn't allow you to be afraid.
"What will they think?"
"How will they react?"
"Who will they see after they know all these damaging things about me?"
The things we hold inside are usually the darkest and the most fragile bits of ourselves, and who are we to keep those from people who care enough to want to know them? And how do we know someone won't enjoy us even more?
For me, I've always loved knowing the ugly parts about someone that they are too ashamed to admit they have. Because usually, I can relate. I think we all can relate. And I think we all want to talk about the things that we can't talk about sometimes.

I'm a big fan of PostSecret. I think it's beautiful and refreshing, watching people reveal their most vulnerable sides. Often, when we reveal secrets, we not only feel like we've released a huge weight off our shoulders, but we also help others who may be going through similar things. It's fascinating to me that some of our deepest secrets and the things that we may be most-ashamed of, are actually the things that bond us. I have many reasons for being an open-book, aside from my personality and how I feel about honesty. By being open, people feel they can also speak openly, can relate, can feel connected, or possibly learn something new. Sometimes I think relating with someone can bring a refreshing comfortability. (Although, I know that it can sometimes backfire, too!)
Anyway, great topic! I like the way you write. It reminds me of me, actually. I really need to get back into writing again. I'm glad I added you as a friend on here.
You explained that so wonderfully. I totally think we write the same way and I'm glad you posted this because I didn't feel quite like I had said everything like I had wanted to, but you definitely solved that problem. Aha.
You should write more! It's the best feeling ever, to release whatever you have on your mind. So don't be surprised if you guys see more blogs like this from me. Sometimes I just get the urge to write/type and my thoughts just spill out however they choose.
I'm really glad others enjoy my thoughts. (:
