Dear Diary,
This is an auditory version of wearing my heart on my sleeve. As much as I am soul, I am also human, and I feel intensely, sometimes to the point where I choose to shut my senses off. Turning off my antennas, which prevents me from feeling and processing my emotions in a healthy manner, has caused a great deal of havoc in my inner world, and it has backfired in my external reality with others. I’ve grown to perceive vulnerability as weakness, especially when I’m the one opening up. I mean, I was literally about to cry but laughed it off because “crying is weird.”
I’m learning that’s not the case. I don’t want to publish this, but I have to because, like the title suggests… OPEN YOUR HEART AND SET THE STAGE.
