If I’m being honest, I don’t like to share the imperfections. It’s not natural. It takes work. It’s much easier for me to show the highlights only. It’s much easier for me to cover everything up and pretend.

There’s also plenty of people out there telling us to do the same. There’s plenty of other people telling us to play it safe. Don’t take a risk. Don’t express anything that’s burning inside you. Keep that in.

But there are some things, that if you keep them in, you’ll explode. There are some things that will find you, even if you’re hiding from them. I’m not saying I’m a proponent of sharing everything with everyone without discretion, but I also know that the lows shape us just as much as the highs; and people relate to both.
