It is called the knowing. I can relate to it myself. I hope that u all like it too.
Piece by piece i peel away,the calloused layers of emotion which i have built up over the years.
Slowly,and gently,i remove my masks which hides me from the world,exposing me to the light, forcing me to trust you.
One by one,I drop the screens I hold before my mind. Until finally i stand before you in naked truth,and you still do not turn away.
This,then,is love and caring.
If you read this let me know what u think. It really reminds me of myself. Just wanted to share it with all of you. This is how i am feeling now. I have to be truthful with all of you so i can get the help that i need and want. Love to all of you. And many many hugssssssssssssssss

Wow... that is really powerful... and I can certainly relate to it. I have been slowly exposing more of myself since I found DS. I have never had friends before to whom I have exposed so much of myself (and my past). It is such a liberation to reveal parts of me that I have always kept hidden. I hope you are finding that to be the case for yourself also. I am here to support my friends on their respective journeys of self-discovery... and that includes you. We all have a past that we need to come to terms with... and having DS friends who care makes that easier to accomplish. Sending hugs and smiles... take care... Gaye xxx

I really like it. It sounds true for alot of us. We all reveal ourselves a little at a time on our own comfort level. Hugs, Wendy

I love this poem Jamie...it tells me that you know that true love and caring can only come as we are ready to let our true selves be known. AND that is right!!
I'm hoping that you have reached the place where you are ready to open up, reach out and trust and let your friends know the real you!!
I really hope so!!!
Hugssss
