preservation of anxiety

(originally published March 12, 2011.)



My biggest flaw, my biggest fault, it's one I understand, and still struggle to stop doing--I hide. From myself, from everyone else, but even from those who know me and love me, I hide. When there is no reason to hide, I hide. And I don't know how to stop.

It is the most difficult thing, ever, to allow my face to accurately reflect what I feel. It's such a challenge at this point that half the time, I'm not even sure what my face is reflecting.
