There's a part of you that you keep tucked away. Maybe it's how sensitive you are, or how much you love something "babyish," or a worry you carry, or a part of your identity you're still figuring out. Whatever it is, you've decided it's safer kept hidden — so you've built a version of yourself with that part carefully left out. It works, mostly. People like the edited version. But hiding a real part of yourself is like holding a beach ball underwater: it takes constant effort, and you can never fully relax. And sometimes, when you're with people you trust, you feel it straining to surface — the wish to just be all of you, in front of someone, for once. You're tired of holding it down.
