Fear, Love, and Honesty

I just read my sister's recent blog post. It is about the fear of love, the fear of being hurt, the fear of exposing our inner selves, the fear of expressing and sharing those fears, and then the relief and healing that takes place when we face it and are honest in communicating with others these fears that lie within our true selves.  It is exactly where I am right now. 


 Here is a quote, but I encourage you to read the entire post.  


This is what Carl Rogers pointed out when he wrote: “...I have found that the very feeling which has seemed to me most private, most personal and hence most incomprehensible by others, has turned out to be an expression for which there is a resonance in many other people. It has led me to believe that what is most personal and unique in each one of us is probably the very element which would, if it were shared or expressed, speak most deeply to others. This has helped me to understand artists and poets who have dared to express the unique in themselves."
