Isn't it strange how the longer you know someone, the harder it becomes to reveal new parts of yourself? Their ideas and expectations of you become fixed and you find yourself being shaped by how they see you.
You're no longer malleable, or full of potential, or able to experiment with new and different sides of yourself. It's an inevitability of growing up for most of us, and of settling down into our relationships and the rhythms of our lives.
But it bothers me, and I often find myself trying to break free of it. And if you're reading this, perhaps you're the same way.
It's somehow easier to open up to someone you've only just met. Imagine meeting someone for the first time, you click, you share a couple of drinks at the bar, and suddenly you find yourself saying things and behaving in a way that's different to how you normally are. New people bring us new energy. They let us explore sides of ourselves that are otherwise hidden away.
So talk to me, and tell me a secret. Tell me something that nobody else knows. Show me a side of you that the rest of the world rarely gets to see. We're all constantly growing and changing and developing, hopefully for the better. Show me the person you want to be. Show me how you want to be seen.
