Q

Until I confront myself in the eyes and hearts of others, I am running. Until I suffer them to share my secrets, I have no safety from them. Afraid to be known, I can neither know myself or any other; I will be alone.”
I now know that unless I come out in the open and admit my mistakes, I will forever be running from them. I need to disclose my deepest secrets to my peers so that I can find the right ways of dealing with them.
By opening myself up for others to see through me, I will be free from my own demons and let others guide and help me though my ordeals. Nobody can help me unless I let them know my woes and let them understand like them, I also need help.
