: transparent; clarity..

“transparent”; a word that some may describe as seeing aspects of life a bit more clear. i see it as a word that could be used to describe me "putting it all out on the table"; as in disclosing facts about me that could potentially make or break a relationship with a person; kind of like sharing my "deep dark secrets", or just being clear with who i am. when transparency comes into play in my life, i see it as a make it or break it point; either the person who i am disclosing my "deep dark secrets" to is going to accept it and stay, or not accept it and run. which ever they chose i will accept, no arguments there, because if they aren't going to accept how clear i am about myself, then why would i want such a person in my life who isn't going to accept me for me? if one has the inclination that i wouldn't fully be clear on who i am, then that individual doesn't see the world as a whole clear view, that individual sees the world as a half foggy view. if one views everything as foggy and half, then what is the sense of learning about anything; why bother? why would you want to only know half of who a person is-to which would be the "positive" qualities and leave out the other half- which would be the negative. because when there is a whole of something, there is both positive and negative aspects of that whole. to which brings me to this; being transparent is something a lot of people don't do; because they want to be accepted for what that other person wants them to be; it's all about acceptance. but i wonder why any person would want to half ass who they really are..perhaps they are scared of rejection. i can see that; i use to hide every "negative" aspect about me to every person i would have a relationship with, because i didn't want that person to "reject" me; i was only sharing half of me. but then i slowly but surely learned that being me without the other half of me-the negative aspects- isn't who i am. and i want every person to accept me for ALL of me and not just half; so be transparent. endure your positive and negatives qualities, air it out, put it on the table. and if that person runs, let them run; in the end, it's their loss.
