Self Revelation

Self Revelation
Posted By: Carolyn Newton on March 15, 2006


I have discovered that I was hiding my true self for fear of being hurt. I have been hurt deeply in the past and I wanted to avoid that pain again. I am a loving, caring, gentle by nature type of person and that person was hurt. I wanted to protect the fragile girl inside me by tucking her away. But, hiding my true self is not the way to avoid pain. Being who I am and staying true to myself in spite of the pain is the true path to growth. Be true to yourself always and never hide who you are.

Thanks for the encouragement cause I fell the same way right now. I'm trying to get over a bad brack up. It's hard cause I'm in love with him and now he has a new girlfriend and we see each other every now and then because I'm still good friends with his family and they always have me around.
