AMEN, AMEN - If you aren't yourself, your life isn't a life. Can't say more because my hands are busy clapping ..

Oh, my gosh - I already commented! Oh well, another day, another way to love this write. We must laugh about all things memory - we must, right?

Hi Charlie, your words are wise and true. So few words that can say so much. Excellent Monoku my friend. I did hide my emotions for so many years, now i let them fly free. Have a wonderful Monday. Your friend always....Mike.

Enjoyed reading your monoku. Sometimes it is better to hide our emotions and sometimes we need to share them with others. Sometimes a person really needs to share and get it out so that there can be healing. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

This two-liner is like a double edged sword, Charlie. It all depends on the kind of emotions one is masking, I'd say. And some identities are better hidden than known. This has been, and still is, my experience. Many thanks for reading me. Best to you, and stop by again. / M

Oh, this one rings real true Charlie. We need to just be ourselves and like minded people will be attracted to us. A great Monoku! : )

Hey, like minds lay in the same gutter - I posted one 8/30 along the same lines, I kid you not, I sure wouldn't kid you, Charlie. And, so I obviously think this deep, wise and impressive! All the best ... CayCay

Yes, so true. And sometimes it takes very long to come to this realization.

so true, Charlie. I am about as transparent as they come and I can see those who hide truth of how they feel. They are not in a good place.

I'm very emotional about your monoku...and I agree Charlie...we live and breathe through our emotions...if we hide them...might as well talk to a wall...love & light

Well not always Charlie.. sometimes we need to hide our emotions, so we do not get hurt.. Guess it depends on the situation.. Great one liner..

So we want fear to define us at times? I'm quite certain that's true. Just not the way I would want to be remembered. Thanks for making me think about it again and the visit...
