#hiding quote

[insarations]

It's hard to know exactly who I am these days. Cause when I'm around my family, I hide all my thoughts and feelings because I know what they'll think. At work I hide those things because I don't know what they'll think. I don't hide much from my friends... but then I do hide because I've said too much and who wants to hear all that? And with anyone and everyone else... there's no real "hiding" it's just at that point.. who am I? It's hard to speak when you've lost hold of that. I understand the term "hide and seek" differently now. I've spent so much time hiding... Now I gotta do some seeking and find myself.

Yet to hide a passion totally (or even to hide, more simply, its excess) is inconceivable: not because the human subject is too weak, but because passion is in essence made to be seen: the hiding must be seen: I want you to know that I am hiding something from you, that is the active paradox I must resolve: at one and the same time it must be known and not known: I want you to know that I don't want to show my feelings.
