It takes courage to be transparent. We build walls, erect impenetrable boundaries that keep us separate and safe. That safety, however, creates a lonely world, not only for ourselves but for those with whom we are in relationship. Others long to know us and be known by us. We are doing no one any favors by maintaining our safety. Have you been hurt and thus pulled back? You need healing and the courage to risk attaching to others again.
