Sometime I just wish that I would have told everything about my life to everyone and I would have enough strength not to repent later for what all I did.

Where you left your soul………..
If I were to glide my hand over the surface of the rough mountainous terrain Would I know how harshly the world has treated you? Would I know how much you've suffered and the memories of pain that run through your withered wings? I touch the edge of your soul to see the haunted look in your vacant eyes telling me your soul should left long ago when humans used innocence to murder for their cause - Avidesh ShashanniOn the blink….
"It is very hard, some days, to know which way is up. But it is never hard, any day, to know which way is right. "- βTo be nobody but yourself in a world which is working night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.β - EE Cummings
- Have you ever wondered which hurts the most-saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing and wishing you had.
- If you knock someone down enough they can forget how to get back up or they simply learn that it's safer to breathe face down on the ground."
- "Unconditional love does not require sacrificing Self. Pride? Yes. Self? Never!"
- "The secret lies in being brave enough everyday, to embrace the truth that whispers constantly from within."
- "My friendship is eternal; My ability to care at all costs is immeasurable; My heart, soul, and spirit's depth belong to only one man; I am a woman of truth even in my humanness; And I will always be perfectly flawed."
- I know not if the voice of man can reach to the sky, I know not if the God will hear if I pray, I know not if the gifts I have will be granted. I know not what will come to pass in future days...........But I hope only good will come from my love to my soul!
- When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long, and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong, just remember, in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose.
- What if you slept? And what if, In your sleep You dreamed? And what if, In your dream, You went to Heaven And there plucked A strange and Beautiful flower? And what if, When you awoke, You had the flower In your hand? Ah... what then? -Samuel Taylor Coleridge
- Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is for you. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
- "Freedom soars on wings outstretched upon the wind of kindness; but limitless is the sky when feathers have been strengthened by honest self reflection."
- All Faith is false, all Faith is true: Truth is the shattered mirror strewen In myriad bits; while each believes his little bit the whole to own. ~ Richard Francis Burton
- But somewhere in my soul, I know I've met the thing before; It just reminded me - that was all! And came my way no more - Emily Dickinson
- WHEN YOU TOUCH ONE THING with deep awareness, you touch everything. -- Thich Nhat Hanh, from "Touching Peace"

Thats is what I want as well; not to experience a moment where I’d regret opening my heart to others. There’s a price of everything you know, while sharing relieves the burden off one’s heart, it at times brings with it bit of disappointment and pain as well.
Very true Aadil!!
from experience
they cannot handle it anyway
forget about it..
Hmmmm…..and Welcome back Dhyan! π
while sharing relieves the burden off oneβs heart, it at times brings with it bit of disappointment and pain as well.
I support this comment… I love to share with others.. but with someone very trusted… someone who can really solve by giving me directions for my life… who knows real me… how do I behave and feel… and react as well…
I wish you will do what will be good for you.. but of course, do it and be free and powered to lean forward with full enthusiasm in life π
My problem is that I trust people very easily….I don’t know always feel to open my heart with everyone with whom my frequency matches….don’t know if it is good or bad π
I know not your life, your burdens, your worries… i do know your energy, your words, the emotions which arise and make me feel… sometimes I too wish I could tell all of my soul to the world… but remember, do not feel remorse. do not repent. for you are who you are for all the good and bad things life has given to you and you have taken from life… you are all that you chose… and from where I am reading… it is a beautiful light
you have taken from life – important say enreal, very important
Very true Enreal! But somewhere a fear always creeps in when others don’t reciprocate in the same way as you expect them to be……Expectations come naturally when you open-up with someone….
Dear Neilina,
I see a younger Me in You. I agree with Enreal.
Over time, this is what I have seen – Theres only two consequences whether we choose to tell or not 1. we Do not Regret. 2. we Regret. The second doesnt serve any purpose, Cause theres no going back and taking the words back. My experience says, that when you and others See all of you, there is really no conflict. All is Perfect. Luckily there are people like that in our world – They take you for what you are in that moment, no questions asked, just acceptance.
π You know mysoul….I also feel the same way. When I read your posts I think and say to myself….yeah, this is exactly how I feel and I wonder how you pen down what I feel sometimes π
When we open ourselves to others; to some extent we also come to know about them. And problem occurs when the expectation doesn’t resonate well….
Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
Max Ehrmann
Thanks so much Charles for such a lovely poem! π
Neilina…sharing my experiences about this….
Several times it has happened that it felt like ohh…the burden of thoughts was too heavy…so I shared them with a friend….only to find them joking about the same. Then obviously the question pops up, is it really worthwhile sharing oneself ?
I thought hard. It struck me that on one occasion it was me who had hurt one of my friends. So then I felt, alright, I don’t want to complain of being hurt when I myself am not perfect.
I don’t know the answer that next time I would have courage to open myself up or not. To bottle one’s feelings up is not healthy either. Is there a clear answer…I don’t know.
Surely it hurts when people whom we trust do not treasure our feelings in the same we do. But, when a child begins to find its feet, it falls, is hurt, cries, gives up. Next day, tries again. Falls, gets hurt. Slowly it learns to walk, to run. Even after he learns to balance and walk straight, there is no gurantee that he won’t fall again. We trip, We slip.
Probably, being hurt emotionally is as natural a phenomenon as being hurt due to an injury. So, let us think differently…
Are we afraid to walk ?
Can we learn to walk safely so that we slip less often ?
:-):-)

Exactly!! this also has happened in my life.
And it is always about ‘us’, it was never about them!! I think what all you have written, may be called “growing-up”!
With time and age I have learnt hard way there is no point in sharing your life with everyone you come across. Not everyone can handle that. Sometimes the repurcations hurt more than the shared thing. People who listen and accept you as you are very few in life. Trust is very valuable and most of the times people misuse that.
I agree with Bluemist. Not everybody can digest somebody else’s truth. My suggestion is that u share it with someone whom u know in real life but that too do it judiciously. Share it with somebody whom u can trust n who would allow u to be u n not try to change or judge u on the basis of whatever u tell him/her.
Ultimate choice is urs.
