Her Lucidity: "If you can't empathize with me, there's no need to sympathize me."~*

i found this new blog and i wanted to share this part i read, which i really liked ...

Her Lucidity: "If you can't empathize with me, there's no need to

sympathize me.":

I'm like a clam.

I often don't even know where to start.

And regarding the part on revealing my problems and deepest secrets, it has always been the kind of 'if you don't ask, I won't say' basis.

Unhealthy, yes.

but sometimes, I'd rather things remain this way.

even so, when something big or important occurs, I'll still talk about it to people whom I trust, people who truly matter to me.

I don't mean to be secretive or mysterious.

It's just that I often don't see a point in saying things aloud.

call me insensitive or just plain blockhead.

I'm not somebody who reveals everything on facebook, twitter or blog.

I'm not somebody who values complete transparency, as if living in a glass box.

To sidetrack a little,

My sis rolls her eyes at people who reveal EVERYTHING online and often complains to me about those 'childish, shallow' people.

ok back to the point.

the point is that

I'm slowly learning to open up more.

To be more blind to other people's expressions.

perhaps then, I'll become a happier person.

someone who embraces herself.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
