You never know what they're hiding

I recently found out that a coworker of mine has 4 tattoos. FOUR! I was shocked. She didn't strike me as the tattoo type but then again, what exactly is the tattoo type? Not really my point. My point is it's amazing how much of ourselves we hide with clothing. I'm not really against all this hiding (and I'm certainly a lot warmer with clothes on than without), but it makes me realize how much hiding I do in other areas of my life as well.

When did I get so private? I find myself holding back quite often these days. I keep my thoughts to myself more than I used to. I don't tell my family, my friends, or even my boyfriend, the things I think. For some reason keeping these things to myself is important now. I wonder if I've always been this way and just didn't realize it. I wonder if I'll ever go back to the way I used to be or at least the way I perceived myself.
