Confessions On Writing

Writing is dangerous, because it reveals the heart.

Matthew 12:33-34 says, "...Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks..."

People think they know you through your writing, but they truly only know a part of you: the part you're willing to share.  And sometimes that's the best part; sometimes it's the worst part.  Sometimes it's your willingness to share that says more about you than anything you say.  It reflects a desire to be known, and to know others.  To relate to people.  And to dethrone yourself from whatever pedestal people put you on.  In the worst case scenario, it creates a pedestal, which would swiftly be removed upon the meeting of the writer.  Because you would realize we're not so different, you and me.  I just write about my thoughts.  You carry yours inside.  And really, that's the beauty of it.
