BBB: On Honesty.
If I’m being honest, there’s something missing from my writing.
From a grammatical standpoint, it’s fine (thanks Grammarly). It makes sense logically and can even be emotionally evocative to a certain point.
But there’s a certain degree of honesty missing from my writing. And this is me just being as candor as I can be, saying that all the stuff I post here is not inclusive of all the things I want to write.
Why can’t I be honest? Tons of reasons. Fear mostly. Fear of showing people a side that I’m not sure a lot of people would accept. Fear of revealing more than I should. Fear of being bare and vulnerable.
We all have our demons. We all have our skeletons in the closet. But most of the time, they aren’t as bad as we believe them to be — they’re just little inklings on a sheet of white paper.
I hope one day I can write with full honesty, both for the people reading and to myself. To everyone who already accepts who they are and writes without fear, I just want to say I respect you so much and I hope you keep writing.
