⚠️Warning: This post turned out to be a bit longer than I expected—approximately 3 minutes and 36 seconds to read. Grab a coffee, take your time, or head over to a quotes blog if you’re in a rush! As I sat down at my computer, I noticed a book on my daughter’s desk. It was mocking men’s ability to explain things. And it struck something deep in me. Because I’ve always admired that ability.…

Because expressing myself is vital. My thoughts are like art — a dance that needs space to happen. Because it hurts to want to talk to someone who doesn’t want to listen.

He never trusted my compass, even…

Something happened today that inspired me to write this—something that made me remember: Oh, that’s why we better hide. Truth shines better in the dark anyway. I used to be an open book, proud of not having much to hide, until my transparency and sincerity gave me too many headaches to bear. I’m not paid enough to deal with people’s inability to handle the truth, so since I’m a bad liar, I…
