“I learned the hard way not to vent to others. Write it down. Throw it out. Tell God. Keep it to yourself.”
-Word Porn
When it comes to letting others in on your thoughts and feelings it can be terrifying, even if you trust them with everything. When you tell someone anything personal you’re exposing yourself and are going to be more vulnerable than you normally are.
Then there is the possibility that they could and go tell others what you told them in confidence. Trust is a fragile thing that can be easily broken yet difficult to earn back. If you don’t know who you can trust to tell these thoughts, feelings, and worries then you can always write it down in a journal for later use or even just write it down to get it all out then throw it away if that’s what you would prefer to do. As long as it reflects how you feel then its served its purpose.
The main thing to keep in mind is not to change to fit into society, but to impact society that I changes for the best. The best way to change anything in society is by being who you say you are and not conforming to who society says you should be. Live your life the way you want to live it and never change who you are as a person to fit into something that isn't you.
