To be an open book. To be able to imagine what it feels like to be able to not be afraid to tell anyone anything. No repercussions, no judgments, just freedom. I don't think you <em>need</em> to have full disclosure, but we should all have the right to feel the freedom to do so. But understanding it and being able to truly believe it are two different things. I still have trouble believing it is possible.</p> I am starting to think more about what it would be like to live life with full disclosure. To be an open book.

I picture the moment perhaps as a little more than the realization that "I really am a good person". I foresee it as the moment when I am finally free to strip down naked... stand in complete security of who I am, flaws, mistakes, ugliness included... exposed, open, unafraid... seeing myself for who I truly am rather than who I have been programed to be... lifting my face toward heaven, God, and shouting, "it is wonderful to be spiritual, emotional, beautiful, intelligent, sensual, sexual, incredible, ME"! And to hell with what anyone else thinks.</p> Overcoming shame…seems such a long and arduous journey.
