Just last week I shared an email conversation with a friend in which, amongst other things, I asked how they were, and in return they did the same. Normally part of me would say I am amazing, which I am, but I would never really be completely honest or truth-full. I would say a version of what I was feeling but hold back from sharing in full, or say what I thought I should be saying, what another wanted to hear, or feel that I had to be a certain way – in other words, I found it difficult just being me.
But there was something this morning that made me stop and ask myself: “how am I really feeling?” This gave me the space to really feel how I was, how my body was feeling, and not what my head was telling me I should feel. To my lovely surprise I wasn’t feeling flat or down, yes I was feeling physically tired, but with this I felt amazing, joyful and so lovely and delicate.
So rather than simply replying that I’m great or amazing, I thought, you know what, I am going to be completely honest and share in full how I’m really feeling. In doing so, this then allowed for me to open up to share how I was really feeling about everything else too, with no need for it – or myself – to be a certain way, and no need to worry about what another may think or say: it felt amazing! My body felt gentle, open and loving; there was no effort, tension or thinking, just the simplicity, honesty and loveliness of just being me and expressing in full.
The reply that came back simply confirmed that true blessings do happen every single day; it made me smile a huge heartfelt smile from inside out. My friend shared how it felt great to hear me talk about how I really am in full without hiding or holding back on what I really felt, and from that they opened up and shared in full how they were really feeling too.
It was simply beautiful just being me, and goes to show the true magic, beauty and openness that can be found when we choose to be completely honest and truth-full, sharing in full how we really are feeling, and with that it allows others to feel, be open and express how they really are feeling, in full too.

It is so lovely to connect and express make me wonder why we don’t always share in that way. It does not even need to be a long speech or anything – just a willingness to be open and who we truly are because really how can we be anyone else!
Thank you Gyl, very inspiring to read of your simple interaction, and of how healing it was for you both. I have had a lot of tension in my body for some time so I’m going to focus on whether I am truly being and expressing me and see if it’s related. I’m sure it is!
It is in the ‘stop’ moments where we do have the possibility, the potential, and the opportunity to feel where we actually are at, the thing is , is one willing to actually stop, because then, one will start to feel where one actually is !!
Great question Chris “is one willing to actually stop,because then, one will start to feel where one actually is” and will have to start taking responsibility.
I know what it feels like when someone is honest and expressing openly, I tend to stop and take the conversation to heart and I feel the responsibility to respond openly and honestly in return. In that it deepens the appreciation for myself as I have been trusted, and that in turn connects me with the Wisdom within.
I love this blog Gyl as it offers such a gorgeous reflection of how being honest truly does free us up so we can simply be ourselves.
It is awesome that when we choose to share from the heart this is then reflected back to us because it allows the other person to express fully as well.
Expressing how you really feel offers a greater opportunity of clearing whatever it is that’s making you feel unwell
Honesty , true honesty is something that can be so alien that it really should be presented at schools and universities…. Honesty 101 the foundation of your life.
It is a pretty simple word… Honesty, and yet it’s like it has become polluted, because honesty itself has become a rare commodity as so much… from the head office in the country down to Naplan tests in the kindergarten seems to be founded upon manipulation rather then true connection.
Honesty is like a clear well of pure water, that refreshes up deeply when we partake of it.
Lovely great and light blog Gyl. Loved to read it again. Your livingness in expressing in full is clearly felt, which inspires me to do the same: express in full. And how joyful that is!
When we are expressing in full, we expand which feels great. We are just as the Universe that never stop expressing in full and never stops expanding.
I agree Gyl, honesty would have to be the fundamental basic of any relationship
I love the truth of when someone answers “how are you” in honesty. I have found if I am the second person to answer and I answer truthfully, the first person is inspired to change their initial “good” response. It is a way to open up, let another in and increase intimacy.
How often do we hold back from sharing with others how we are truly feeling and in the process deny ourselves the opportunity to be honest? The beautiful example you share Gyl of what happened when you did express with honesty, was not only a healing for you but for the other person.
“I’m fine” is such a conversation stopper as it doesn’t say anything about how you are truly feeling and closes the door on others from feeling and expressing how they are. It shuts down our awareness to developing an honest conversation with ourselves and others.
It is so beautiful that you chose to be so honest and open, and in response, you received equally back from another what you had expressed out. This is true communication and a far cry from polite society and shallow chit chat that does not scratch the surface or allow people to heal and grow.
Expressing in full is clearly very good medicine Gyl, thanks for the lovely reminder.
What is amazing is the fact then when I allow myself to express in full I give the other this same opportunity as well, and that is the part I really love, when the other then gives back to me the love they feel within unrestricted by their mind that can keep us restricted in predetermined ideals and beliefs.
How am I really feeling is a great question to just come back to yourself especially when self-doubt creeps in or we feel a little anxious. Just to ask ourselves the simple question allows space to feel it, call it and clear it…..
Love your blog Gly, this is timely for me as I found myself going back into the old pattern of hiding, just saying a few words but not opening up to reveal what is truly going on for me, I am gradually coming out and when I do express all of me and we share this together it becomes so freeing, joyful, and intimate.
I feel expressing honesty is the first step to intimacy
Beautifully said and very true Gyl, when we don’t hold back from expressing truth everyone gets to feel supported to express in full as well – a win/win for everyone.
It is true Gyl that when we open up and truly share how we feel, that it opens the conversation up to the absolute truth of where we are at. This then allows the other person to connect to their truth as well and deepens the sharing between the two.
Expressing how we truly feel is hugely powerful. I have found that there are times when I have not been as aware of how my body is feeling, usually because of being too much with my thoughts rather than feelings, or because I am deliberately overriding what my body is telling me as I know I’m acting in disregard of it. In these situation Universal Medicine healing modalities or the gentle breath meditation are so supportive in reconnecting to the feeling deep within ourselves and to be able to listen to what our bodies are telling us once again.
When I just let myself be there is a feeling of openness and ease within me. The moment that I bring in anything else I can feel the imposition and the tension this creates. It is such a moment to moment choice to observe and learn about all that I am feeling.
I have experienced this too Gyl, when I open up, be honest and lovingly share how I feel with someone this inspires them to do the same. I love these moments when we choose to be open and honest, I learn so much from them and cherish them because it feels so natural and loving.
Honesty is the best policy as the truth is revealed in time anyway
Yeah I am learning how we can put impositions onto others and that when we express how we feel without any agendas it allows another to be also and creates the space for them to express.
Just the title alone of your blog Gyl made me breathe easier. It is more difficult and harmful than we realise to keep a lid on how we are truly feeling. It is also quite an insidious practice to calibrate our expression to some ideal or other that we assume another person would prefer, or that will protect us from imagined reactions. However as you so beautifully share, this is quite an illusionary habit and honesty is what frees us in every way.
The great thing about being honest is that you don’t have to put time, effort or consideration into positioning what you’re going to say. It’s just pure truth expressed. And remarkably, when delivered with due respect and dignity for all, it’s a contagious phenomenon, with people more likely to express their own truth right back.
To express ourselves in full regardless of any reactions we may receive is healing and supportive for everyone because this offers an opportunity to be honest and truthful with our expression. It is incredible how much we actually impact on ourselves and others from our every expression, it can be deeply inspiring and healing or toxic or harmful, the responsibility is always ours what we choose to express. Your blog gives us an inspiring example of how powerful it is when we express in our fullness.
It is a delicate balance, to express truthfully without reservation of what another will think of me, and also to feel what it is that the other may need to hear, and not just express what it is I want to say. This is equally something I have been learning.
The simplicity of this blog is very beautiful Gyl – a simple message yet so useful in deepening the intimacy in our relationship with our self and subsequently with others. I will hold this with me as I go about my day today, gently checking in on how I am feeling at various stages. I feel this will greatly support the level of intimacy I can then offer loved ones around me.
What a joy it is when we open up and let people in; what a joy it is when we open up to ourselves connecting to our inner love and wisdom. When we honestly share ourselves it creates a space for another to do the same (or not!)
An inspiring sharing Gyl; thank you.
Opening up and letting people experience the all of you can seem like a daunting prospect, with many questions like – will they reject me, will they laugh, will they still like me…. but all of that is just mind talk and none of it is true. because essentially everyone wants everyone to be themselves because it is the most beautiful thing in the world – you.
Honesty is the most precious of qualities, it lays a foundation in our lives upon which we can build a life of evolution, not devolution.
From the very first time I read this blog I was inspired to daily ask myself “How am I feeling” and the joy and lightness of not holding back or hiding the truth is just as you share Gyl ‘beautiful’. To then take this out into the world is a great reflection for another to return that honesty -if they so choose.
Hi Gyl, when I speak honestly about how I am feeling and don’t hold back, I am finding that everything about my interaction with the other person deepens and that the space within me expands. It is beautiful when I bring all of me to where ever I am and experience what comes back to me is the same. Thanks for sharing
I feel being honest and open allows the deepening of a relationship and it also saves so much time and energy
I really love this. Being completely honest and just being me – this has to happen with me first.
As I was reading I paused for a moment and asked myself “how am I really feeling?”. It was really powerful as I feel my chest area expand and a lovely sense of light flowed through me. I would have missed this if I hadn’t been inspired through your blog to give myself a moment to stop and listen to what my body had to tell me. Awesome – thanks Gyl :).
For many people simply expressing how they actually feel is an enormous step, and yet once embarked upon, we can all discover how reconnecting and healing the process of simple expression is.
I did just that this morning Gyl, I asked myself, “how am I really feeling”, as I realised that I had been running with what my head was telling me and not fully connected. When I stopped and gave myself this grace, it was like the simplest choice to make but also very confirming of the energy that was not supporting me to be me. Great to claim myself back and choose love.
It is great to just stop and ask oneself “how am I really feeling?””, some days feeling full of joy and vitality and others a little flat. This is great to feel as it allows me to reflect on my day and how I have been living up to that moment. Allows me to make a different choice to support my day.
Reading this sharing from you Gyl is a constant inspiration. Just in the simplicity of asking myself as you did “How am I feeling today” can be a complete game changer of how my day flows. Particularly in how I express to others and how it opens up a whole new opportunity for them to be able to express and share with me. Awesome.
When we communicate with honesty and openness it allows the connection to deepen
Thank you Gyl for a beautiful blog, I am inspired to be more open and share what I am really feeling, which starts with actually really knowing what I am feeling in my body and not just my head talking.
Recently inspired by this article and others I have read on Everyday Livingness I have been sharing with others how I feel. It is amazing now, how heavy it feels to keep these things inside. The more I share the easier it seems to be to ‘go there’ and move past any sense of trepidation, so thank you Gyl for capturing your experience. How would it be for us to live in a world where everyone shared with this honestly?
The honesty in simply speaking the truth about yourself Gly, really is true medicine, no holding back and no measuring.
Expressing how we feel from our bodies allows us the opportunity to create more intimacy in our relationships, we all want more of it and the benefits are endless.
People always have difficulty being themselves… it is rare to find someone who is truly “in” their body and show it without arrogance or rancor, and restoring this re-connection with ourselves is what Universal Medicine excels at.. and it is a priceless gift for us all.
When we share our true feelings with others they in turn are given the opportunity to open up to us and to themselves. The beauty of being connected to our inner most is that it is a reflection for others to follow. In this way we are pulling ourselves and others towards the light. Viewed in this way it is our responsibility to always be truthful in our expression.
Thank you Gyl for this beautiful inspiration, I feel I have been holding back a lot in writing to people, just conveying that what I thought I needed to convey. But not truly sharing what I feel or what is going on for me, not being true to myself and others, it is quite shocking actually. I am holding a picture of how it needs to be and am writing that, not what I am truly feel to say..
Exactly Gyl, when we offer the fullness of who we are – the person or persons we are with are pulled up to do the same. Holding back stunts humanity. A gorgeous healing for both you and your friend and naturally includes all of us.
Yes I had an experience yesterday when someone who is usually very abrasive just melted before me and became quite gentle as I shared with her on an intimate level.
Honesty is an extraordinary quality, it cannot be brought or purchased, it is a currency that stays with us however for our whole lives. It is so precious, and if we can engender just this in our children it is a great foundation for the rest of their lives.
That’s so true Chris james, honesty is an extraordinary quality, and truly lovely to hear from others. There is a mother at our centre that is so totally honest and some find that a little too much, but for me, I love it as she is not holding back, and you feel that in that realness from her, you too can be just as honest. It’s like your given the way forward to simply be yourself as she so beautifully is.
This is such a beautiful and simply exquisite sharing Gyl. To feel another sharing (and being really honest) in full with no holding back does give the listener a choice to also embrace their own unique way of expressing their truth. What a gift to allow another to do this and, the joy that we feel, with no holding back expressing in our fullness of who we truly are. A beautiful foundation to base all our friendships/relationships on.
Gyl thanks for writing a great blog that has supported me to become more honest in being myself. The layers of trust and hurt that still sit within begin to shift when we focus less on what we “think we should be” and ‘Just be who we are.
What you chose in conversation Gyl feels like it allowed everything to flow. You illustrate how if we’re not open and expressing what is there – we are are resisting truth. In this way, its like we create many dams in the river of life. Then we are damned to live disconnected to the true rhythm of love.
So beautifully said Gyl, I often have the same experience. If I allow myself to speak honestly in the moment, those that I am with are right there with me, sharing their inner most too. It is an easy and gorgeous way to be with people.
It is amazing how restrictive societal norms of polite society are when people just automatically say in response to ‘how are you?’ – I’m fine or okay, whether it is true or not. What you have shared is a great example of the depth and beauty that can come from being honest and truly expressing what you feel and in that, allowing another to do the same. This to me is true communication of how we should be with each other.
Yes and all it really takes is for us to drop into a deeper place within ourselves as we respond – not let the old polite ways rule us. Allowing ourselves the space, care and love to bring this honesty to the world is a blessing to all we meet .
I agree Samantha, and what I have noticed recently is how actually revolting it feels in the body to answer a question with anything other than the truth. It doesn’t have to be a full explanation to ‘how are you?’ but just not answering in rote, confirming the small talk that we have become accustomed to. I notice if I offer more of myself, the response is mostly that the other person opens up.
To be truly honest in how I am sharing with another is a gorgeous reflection to take into my day today. Thank you Gyl.
Being really honest with myself and making a stop to be able to feel how I am, does bring the true answer to the question, only then it can be felt. Sometimes when I get asked this question; how are you- I take a short break to check into the body to feel what to say. This was a bit confronting sometimes to take this space for me. It is getting more normal as more often I do that.
Taking the opportunity to express how we really feel is sometimes like push starting a car with a flat battery, it takes a bit to get it going , but you can find that once you start, it feels so good you just want to keep going.
Ha, such a great way to describe it Chris, it is so true too. A battery recharge is all that’s needed…
I agree chris james, once we give ourselves permission to express truth we feel the expansion and space in our bodies and it is a lovely reflection for others to feel and be themselves.
Honesty is a quality that we all appreciate and deep down inside truly want when sharing. And when we begin to be honest with ourselves and share honestly with each other we begin to re-build trust and confidence in expressing who we naturally are. I love what you say here – ‘My body felt gentle, open and loving; there was no effort, tension or thinking, just the simplicity, honesty and loveliness of just being me and expressing in full.’ – as our bodies are always an amazing marker of truth-fullness.
Your blog Gyl shows us the responsibility we all hold in being our true selves as this allows another the same opportunity to show their true colours. This way we develop trust and truthfulness, which expands a relationship to one of love.
I noted in re-reading this blog today how important it is to be open to another person, as I felt you were Gyl before sharing how you were truly feeling. From that openness a meeting occurs and there is a natural urge there to express. This is not needing to ‘vent’ anything or looking for recognition or acceptance from another. In being open it is as much allowing the other person or people to express as allowing it for oneself and it importantly means one might express for both or all – meaning that the space allowed a connection with those present for something important to be shared and such expression resonates freely between people. I have frequently witnessed this at Universal Medicine presentations, even in a large group of people, where I felt very much personally being talked to, not talked at.
Gorgeous Gyl. I can feel to loving openness from what you shared and it does feel amazing. It really actually is beautifully simple to be ourselves in full and in doings so liberates us from all the made up versions we can pull on the create a picture we think will fit, yet never actually does, as nothing comes close to who we truly are and expressing from there.
This is true Giselle. It is simple to show the world our true selves but we have learnt to complicate our lives by wearing the different masks and by living something we are not. Why choose complication over simplicity to live our lives.
Great blog Gyl, I love the no holding back. I have recently started to let go of dimming myself in these situations.
If at work someone would say you look great today I would dim it by saying “really Ok thanks” But now I say “I Know, Thank you”
It feels great to accept when some one comments or asks you how you are and to fire with both barrels how amazing life can be.
When asked “How are you?” it is so easy to just reply with a non-committal “I’m fine”, but now I pause and consider how I honestly feel and share this; and in sharing I am being honest with myself and the person I am connecting to. I am also learning that, when I ask someone “How are you?” I am really listening to what they share and this deepens our relationship.
Gyl, this will be an inspiration for me today. I can feel how I have been holding back part of my expression and not going to that deeper level. I’m so looking forward to bringing this deeper level with me today – and I have a feeling my body will thank me for it too! It’s amazing to feel how our bodies actually respond to expressing all of who we are, and how we feel when we do not. Expression is definitely a form of medicine for me!
The fact that people do appreciate it when we open up and become honest, reflects the truth Serge Benhayon has been stating for years now in Universal Medicine workshops. That is, we deep down have a very genuine, caring and truthful nature and feel it each time someone expresses from that nature. Even though we are not encouraged to live that way, for example in our education system, it does not destroy the possibility of reopening up to these true qualities. It just means reconnecting to that aspect of us – our innermost.
I have been noticing the different responses I get when I ask someone how they are. When I am feeling someone, in the sense of observing what I am sensing from a person and then ask them how they are feeling, the answer I get is so much more real and honest. I am being shown that the more I am genuinely asking this question the more people are willing to honestly share.
From now on that is exactly how I will be asking people how they are. Great way to deepen relationships.
That is so very true. I f we ask questions like that from the pattern what we should say or ask it will come back to us on the same level. If we deepen it reflects back to us.
Great that you opened up and shared how you are truly feeling when asked Gyl. Wouldn’t it be different to speak with truth rather than go into empty pleasantness. Using dialogue in truth, as to not be left wondering do they want the truth or ” I’m good” dismissing response. And when asked, be truthful and open enough with your answer back.
Mostly I give a shorthand version of how I am, except with dear friends or family. If I accept myself and how I am feeling it is much easier to share; always, the more I am open and sharing and accepting of myself the more others are open with me. What follows is a deepening of the relationship and a wonderful warmth in my heart.
Thank you Gyl for sharing these insightful, inspiring words, to open up and express to another without having a hand on the escape exit allows another to reciprocate as they do not feel anxiousness or protection but an openness to be.
Reading your words Gyl I’m smiling a huge heartfelt smile from inside out too. What a gift we miss out on when we obscure the truth.
So true Joseph, being true and sharing truth is a gift for all.
Great blog Gyl, so many times when people ask me how I am, I automatically say great thanks. Even when I say that I know that this is not how I always are feeling but go into the thought that they don’t really want to know how I am, they don’t really care how I am but they just ask that question because that it what we say when we greet people. I love how you have shared how the relationship deepens when we bring all of ourselves in truth to the conversation. We can be of great support for each other if we let down the barriers and share how we are really feeling.
Yes I observe that too with people, when I am honest and let people see what is going on with me, at this moment the others join in and speak more from what is really going on and most of the time it is something very interesting to share and to learn from another. All this we would miss out on, if we play nice and safe.
When I read your article just now I realized that I do share a lot with others but definitely still hold back, give people the short version or try to sell that I am doing well. Thank you for your article Gyl.
I’m always taken aback by how much energy I pour into worrying about how I might sound or look if I am completely honest with someone. This worry comes from experience of my honesty often not being well received and then a hurt that comes from that, which never feels nice. I am learning to understand, that my truth is my truth and nobody has to like it, and the more I open up, the more of an opportunity I give to the other person to also not hold back. The more I express exactly how I feel, the less expectations I will have and the less need I will have for validation because it’s ok to just be me.
Gyl what you are sharing reminds me about how often we use the throwaway phrase- “I am fine” when asked how we are. It is a real conversation stopper and I feel we use it as we don’t want to go any deeper in the sharing than that. It is polite and allows us to quickly get on with our day. I think I will cut this phrase from my vocabulary!
Re-reading this blog, I realise there is more for me to deepen here, allowing more honesty, firstly with myself. Expressing how I am can still sometimes feel exposing, but at the same time it is so freeing and makes me feel lighter. Thank you Gyl for this inspiration here.
Reading your comment Ariana makes me appreciate the importance of accepting myself and moment in life in full not trying to avoid possible hurts and rejections.
I find that when people ask each other how they are, it’s as though there is this unspoken rule to say ‘fine thanks’ and also I’m asking but I do not expect you to reply other than ‘fine thanks’ or ‘ok thanks’. It’s very much an exchange on a functional level, without any expectation of actually truly saying how we feel to each other.
It’s so refreshing to read that you are taking the time to express how you feel and that others are inspired to do the same.
Friendships can go to a whole new level when we open up and go deeper, I have a closer relationship with friends and family and discussions have become less surface conversations and are more honest and real since I have developed a more honest and real relationship with myself … It’s lovely to experience that level of intimacy and connection from just being open and less guarded and protected.
Awesome blog Gyl, ‘How are you?’ is such a common question but how many times do we reply without much awareness of how we really feel and holding back our expression. I have done this so many times, finding myself go into automatic response of ‘I am good, thanks’. And then moving onto the next thing. It feels very disconnected and false with this automatic response. Your blog inspires me to express in full what I am truly feeling and to stay open to allow people in. It is a lovely way to connect with people when we are willing to let them in and by staying connected with ourselves.
Thanks Gyl. There is often a real cloak of unspoken words in a conversation. It is as if we can’t be completely honest and so are guarded when we talk. The choice is really ours to make as you so beautifully expressed in your blog, if we lead with truth and honesty, it gives others that opportunity to be the same. At the end of the day, it’s our natural way to be, the protection is the part that drains us.
Reading this lovely article today made me smile – and one that certainly gave a little nudge to not hold back from expressing how I truly feel when asked that very question.
Gyl, as you write – “…..sharing in full how we really are feeling, and with that it allows others to feel, be open and express how they really are feeling, in full too,” – I am experiencing this too. I find myself at times a little tentative still, yet getting much more confident in expressing where I am at, and it surely does open the door for others to do the same. Great blog, thank you.
Really lovely Sharing Gyl. I’m beginning to accept that the more I just be me in situations than i fel really good, flowing and open like you’ve described. It’s like it doesn’t matter what I say but the whole point is connection first and then everything that is expressed has a quality of amazing love and it’s really funny ( hilarious in my case) haha
That’s lovely and very funny Harrison, I too can be hilarious when I am open and share myself honestly, especially when I don’t hold back what I have been feeling.
Your blog made me realise how often I automatically reply ‘fine’ or something similar when asked how I am. Your experience not only shows how empowering it is to fully express, but also the beautiful opportunity it gives to those we are with to feel and express something different.
True inspiration to stop hiding and start fully expressing or first asking myself what it is actually to be truly me. I feel into that now. Thank You for sharing. With love Nadine
With getting more honest with myself, about how I truly feel, I open up to others because there is nothing to hide anymore.
Beautiful Annelies. Thank you.
‘no need to worry about what another may think or say’ – that is so freeing. Being able to be you and have that solidness that your not constantly worried about what other people think. Lovely to hear about.
I am so guilty of worrying too much about what other people may think. The part that you’ve highlighted is great. Like you said when we choose not to do that, I agree is very freeing. I am now learning to just be myself and not to let my thoughts get in the way of truly expressing and sharing who I am. Gyl’s blog inspires me to always stay open, be myself and connect with people.
Yes Emily there can be a real claiming of what I feel and who I truly am, when I express what I have felt in full and don’t worry or hold back because it may differ from other’s experiences or opinions.
Being honest with ourselves really supports us to really feel how we are feeling and when expressed to another, this then gives permission and a choice for another to feel and express in the same honesty they received.
I absolutely loved re-reading this Gyl. What a beautiful reminder of how healing it is for all when we let people in and share in full who we are and what we feel. A beautiful confirmation for me to read and feel this morning – thank you.
Just so simple but very powerful!
Thanks Gyl for this blog- this is exactly what we are asked to be, nothing more or less than truly who we are and expressing what we are feeling from this space. I always see an opening with people when I do not hold myself back and show me and speak just how it comes from my inner self. It is a truly simple and enjoyable way of living, and not imposing for people but an invite to join in as well.
I remember one course I did with Chris James (www.chrisjames.net) and in one exercise we were sitting in small groups of four and had the opportunity to share how we really felt with no pressure to deliver anything special. I found myself feeling how absolute perfect I felt without even noticing it. It was almost as if I wasn’t allowing myself to be aware of it until then. Sort of an old program running in my mind keeping me from really opening up and feeling all of who I truly am for no reason what so ever. Like an angel forgetting he’s an angel and suddenly realising that he is and the whole world just opens up.
Such gold you offer here Gyl, so awesome to simply express how we truly feel, like you say it allows others to open up and truly express how they are feeling too.
