This exposure, to me, is akin to writing until I drive straight into vulnerability. Where the words themselves are not in danger, but as a writer you dance closer to an edge, closer to the safety in the reveal where you are once again whole within and without the nine to five.

Safe Reveal
There is a certain safety in the reveal. Allowing the self to emerge and drop it's shield in a place where we face demands on our appearance, demands on our time, the demand to perform, such high stakes can lead to conform. Save face, keep your reputation in tact and maintain an image with appeal. But in the reveal, the soul is saved from the confines and set free by the exposure.

Slightly off of topic.. I'm working on acting on the idea that vulnerability /= weakness. That one is difficult to absorb into the self for me.
