I've got to start somewhere. And I've got to start with words. The first ones will come hard. Later it will be easier. Easier than not saying them, unlike now, when not saying is the easiest.
Not that there's anything so important to say. Important in the big world way. But words are small things, and they can be huge. And life is like that too. A small gesture, a thought, a moment in time. Very small, but more true than anything else.
And truth is really what I'm after. Which is hard because truth isn't only the opposite of lying. It's sometimes the opposite of silence, or of being in situations where you don't belong, or of forgetting who you are and ending up on the wrong path. The opposite of truth can be weakness.
I'm also starting here because telling the truth helps make knowing the truth easier. (That's because I'm not the silent type. No still waters here.)
My life is very good. I have love and a beautiful home and inspiring friends and my family loves me. But there seems to be some truth missing. So I'm going to start with words.
