I wonder what it's like to wear your heart on your sleeve.  I've spent a good portion of my life hiding my own thoughts and opinions to make room for others'.  Keeping my own feelings locked up inside to protect myself.  There is a safety in that.  And yet, there is also a burden.  Would it be freeing to express what I'm really feeling and thinking?  Would I feel stronger not working so hard to keep my true feelings concealed?
