“The most important things are the hardest to say.
They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish
them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in
your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s
more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever
your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would
love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only
to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve
said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost
cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst, I think. When
the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller
but for want of an understanding ear.”
– Stephen King

I totally agree. It is quite painful and sometimes traumatic to reveal things I’ve deeply hidden to myself for a long time, thinking that this person will understand me and the way I think, but afterwards, I find myself cringing with shame and regret for saying things I should have kept within myself.
