Now that my mind is in normal/daytime mode, I can think better and I would say I would still keep parts of me to myself with extended family, my immediate family to a smaller degree and work. Just want to be more honest in places like church where I feel like I am someone fake sometimes just to protect myself. That is a place I should be able to be honest, but I am not. Luckily I am only there on Sunday mornings now.<br /><br />I was kindly reminded by my husband that I already am my real self mostly with my friends now, but that took a long time for me to do. Thanks for the good feedback, made me think also.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748436803065942668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237121702317482803.post-39309659385621824762012-04-28T01:55:04.521-04:002012-04-28T01:55:04.521-04:00Ooooh, I love it!

Very real.<br /><br />And I hide a lot about myself from my extended family, and some things (like my bi-sexuality) from my parents. <br /><br />For me, it's okay to hide my religious and political beliefs from the older guys (my grandparents who are in their late 80's are probably better off not knowing these things) but I don't intentially keep them from others.<br /><br />My sexuality never comes up, because I'm in a relationship with a man (which made things a lot easier, telling wise). <br /><br />Everyone pretty much knows that I'm not a practicing Catholic anymore, and that I'm a liberal. But they don't know anything specifically about my beliefs, and I'm fine with that.<br /><br />Great poem, it really has made me think.Leah: Not Otherwise Specifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00592428048419117998noreply@blogger.com
