Self-disclosure

 
 

Learning to gently reveal who we are is how we
open ourselves up to love and intimacy in our relationships.
Many of us have hidden under a protective shell,
a casing that prevents others from seeing or hurting us.
Being vulnerable can be frightening.
Little by little,
we learn to take the risk of revealing ourselves...
Gently, like a flower, we can learn to open up. 

Melody Beattie
