I've always been somewhat of a "closet writer" only my family really knows that I write and a few close friends but rarely does anyone ever actually read what I write, just like you said, "letting people into your brain is kind of like letting someone see you naked." Sometimes I will post things anonymously on writing websites in the hopes that someone will read it and like it but usually I keep everything I write private. It's my catharsis and my escape. As a kid I wrote all of the time and was always telling stories to my friends. I have so many stories fighting to get out and more that keep showing up all of the time. Writing is my one of my passions but I'm so shy about it there's no way it will ever be more than a secret love.
