Doing what you like is freedom; liking what you do is happiness.

Here is the only important thing I know about closets…

When you’re the one who has trapped yourself inside,
there are only two ways out…

Having the door ripped from the handle
exposing all which you’ve tried contain
whether it’s ready to be seen or not
by the world.

By placing your hand on the handle
taking a deep breath and coming out
on your own terms, letting the world in
at your own pace

Because, whether you realize it or not,
the door is always ready to open
all you have to do is
handle it.

It’s always better to turn the handle yourself.

Thanks CP and Allyson.

So true, Bob, but some lock themselves in and forget there is a choice.

Walls and masks, how silly we are to believe they hide the truth! Well done.

Yes yes yes. I’ve locked myself in a few over the bad years, hiding a lie. Nothing but bad and worse fruit comes from hiding from the light.

Eventually the truth is always revealed.
