(originally seen on) latinamericana:

"There are many things in your heart you can never tell to another person. They are you, your private joys and sorrows, and you can never tell them. You cheapen yourself, the inside of yourself, when you tell them."
~Greta Garbo
My mother always says this.

This is not entirely true. If you find that person who sees you truly, who looks at you unflinchingly and accepts everything that you are, bright and dark, shimmering and shadowed...To that person, you can tell all these things, and not lose yourself or lessen who you are.
