I Want Real Connections

I remember several times in my life where I met people online or offline and we made a connection. We’ll meet someone who gets us, who we can converse with naturally, who easily makes us open up to them. It’s easy when you talk to a stranger or a person you won’t see again. It’s difficult to be yourself with people who know more about you than a stranger or acquaintance would because you’re afraid they’ll see you as a monster after they learn of your flaws, weaknesses, and mistakes. But when you reveal your authentic self, whoever sticks around in spite of your “darkness” is worth your time.
