I ran across a TEDx Talk of a woman talking about coming out of the closet. I loved her view. There are two things she says that touch me deeply. One is that hard is hard, and that we need to quit trying to one up each other. The other is that we are all in closets, and a closet is no place for anybody to live.
Growing up, I was in a constant state of flight for fight. Some of what she talks about hit so close to home for me because of that. I was constantly trying to hide what my home life was like to the outside world. Now I am learning to let go of those things, and live authentically.
