Publishing without the fears of rejection, without the necessity of regulation, as if someone is going through your diary after your death. They might find the disturbing things, the self questioning, the desire to breakup with a life long partner, the contemplations about suicide. Or the amounts of gratitude that was never expressed.
There are so many things we hide from the world to build up a facade with a certain look to not let others inside. But the real self — the one that’s behind the facade — that’s the one that will find connection. Being vulnerable, open, and explorative. Giving other permission to do the same.
