Some weeks ago, at church, the speaker shared this song and talked about having pure and honest heart. It is really good to be true to ourselves, and to someone close to use, like our partner.
The song goes like this:
So I wrap up this part that doesn't look good; I make it look lovely, like I think it should,
But if you only know who I pretend to be I'll never know if you could really love me.
If you find out who I really am...
If I show you what I keep in the dark...
Stripped of my defences, can your love really clothe my naked heart?
I think it is really sad and true, at the same time.
It is sad because there are people that wrap up their heart, or even themselves to be like they are expected to be - but it ain't themselves.
And it is true because it is happening. There are people doing so, even me.
The speaker at that church said that we should come clean. He shared that when he did that to his wife, his wife and he both wept. He wept because of confessing the dark side of him. His wife wept because of discovering his dark side. But, in the end his wife said (this is the most important bit for me):
"I rather have the pain knowing it than not knowing you at all."
He concluded that it is amazing to be fully known and still be loved anyway.
Did I do that? No, at least not yet.
Do I dare to do that? Um,.. I don't know.
Do you?
