When things are left unspoken, and are just left to swirl around in your own brain, it's easy to push them to the side and refuse to acknowledge their existence. You can live life as normal, putting on a facade that can fool even your closest friends, because nobody would ever assume that about you. It's safe in there, because no one can prove anything, you're able to co-exist in two worlds rather happily. But at the same time, it's lonely in that bubble you've created. But is it really worth inviting someone else in, when you don't know how they'd react? Situations like this can either go two ways, they'll either say;
1) "Shit, I don't know what to say. I don't know if I agree with you...."
or
2) "Shit, really? Oh ok, that's cool."
Obviously number 2 is the preferable response. And then, once you let someone in, they pleasantly surprise you. And even if you didn't want to assume the worst about a loved one, sometimes you can't help it. It's better to assume the worst and be pleasantly surprised, then assume the best and get kicked in the face. So do you hide or do you venture out of your bubble? I'm not sure, only time will tell I suppose.
PS. You know who you are, I love you for not kicking me in the face last night :)
Until next time fellow humans....
