The things I can't say

I am an open person.  I don't have many secrets (especially not after my documentary screening the other night).   Thank you to everyone who came.  I truly felt loved.

I feel like there are a few things that I can't express, despite my typically open attitude.  My reasons for keeping the secrets I have are for the sake of protecting those around me.  Sometimes it's hard to hold everything inside.  But, I have to.

No good could come from saying everything.  I mean, that's why we, as human beings, have filters. A wise friend of mine recently said (in a blog) to seize the day.  I'm not sure what, if any, good could come from spilling my guts on this one.  

I also think it's impossible to keep things in completely.  It really hurts to do that.  So, alas, I'm using this forum to speak in circles. I would apologize for this; however, I find myself apologizing a lot lately, and I'm not really sure why.  I wonder if using those two words so often negates their meaning.   

Sometimes I wish I could scream and yell and get angry, but that's not me.  And I don't really feel like that.  I think my empathy for others (including the people who hurt me sometimes) makes me understand why people do the things they do.  Thus, I can justify it in my mind, thus I can't get angry.  I just hurt.   

This certainly isn't an indication of how I feel all the time....just right now.  Don't worry about me, I will be fine.  I just needed to write this.
