And yet there are times (like Jes says) that I just wish someone else would come out and say "I'm messed up, I have problems, here they are, look at them, see the real me, this is what I am." because then I could do the same. I could share with my friends and family that I'm not perfect, far from it, and I would feel safe to live my life as a broken, messed up person, seeking to be better bit by bit with the help of those around me. So share, be real, we all know the crap we carry in silence so it stands to reason that everyone else does the same. Maybe if we all life honestly we'll have a greater love for others.
