There is no privacy that cannot be penetrated.
No secret can be kept in a civilized world.
Society is a masked ball where everyone hides his real character,
then reveals it by hiding.
Ralph Waldo Scott
Today I finally opened up. I found a wiser, elder friend to whom I was able to tell [almost] everything and how lost I feel… [some things I’m still struggling hard with]
I poured away my sorrows, and how shallow and I think they were, yet that I couldn’t drive the pain away, and how that was affecting me.
I exposed myself.
With nothing else to lose, I threw everything I’ve built so hard at risk, cleansed [part] of my soul out.
No weapons, no hiding places, no safe havens, no help, and no turning back
He proudly smiled at me, and said: “don’t think any wrong of this: it means you’re growing. Life for you is no longer a playground, and you cannot accept any longer to be driven by life, but to drive it yourself. This will the time of decisions, of cutting back with the unnecessary, and building your life for real. Whatever comes from it, it will make you solid, give you peace, and bring you true happiness. Don’t rush it, go one step at the time, trust what your heart feels. You’ll be tempted to sulk into sorrow. Don’t let it happen. Know that it is in your hands the changes you’re facing and that you are more than ready to go through them”

I understand it, and feel it in my heart, but the pain still hasn’t gone away.
