I’ve always been the kid told to shhh-ut up and take a nap when I got sad about it afterwards. I talk a lot. Growing up, I barely had any secrets and till this day I am a terrible liar. I’m not too skilled at keeping things in.

For the longest time, being this open book of myself didn’t raise any red flags in my head. But today, my love of thinking out loud and oversharing made me view my openness as a flaw. Let me tell you about it.

I thought out loud

Shared out loud my undeveloped decisions

Changed my unmade mind

And then got deemed unreliable, and possibly a liar, in this chaos of my oversharing.

Had I kept my thoughts for just me,

Shared my undeveloped decisions to just my journal

Changed my unmade mind however many times

In silence

I wouldn’t have a story to complain about today.
