“Write what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open.” — Natalie Goldberg

This one is truly scary. I don’t think I could write about what I fear. What I have not been willing to speak about. I’m not willing to be split open.

There’s a reason I don’t write about it. It’s not something I’m willing to share with everybody. I don’t think we need to share everything. It’s OK to keep some things inside.

Some things okay to keep inside could be sacred experiences, memories to share only as prompted. Other things best kept to yourself include details that could create pain in others.

I believe the above quote is false. Do as you feel you should.
