Revealing

Today I revealed a piece of myself to a firend. I was so scared I couldn't breathe. It's hard to reach down and bring to the surface somethings you keep hidden about yourself. Any time I think I want to tell someone, I stop. What if it changes everything? What if your warts are not accepted by them, or tolerated by them. I'm not talking serial killer. Just those secrets that you keep hidden for fear of ridicule, or being ostracized. It's so hard to find anyone who is willing to accept you, just as you are bad breath, warts, stupid laugh or what ever.  I like who I have become through a lot of trial and error. It doesn't mean others will. So, you reveal some, hope they don't run and go on.
