When does something become real to you? The minute it happens, the moment it’s felt? The second it’s uttered? Or sometime later, when you lay it out to someone? And what is it about that certain someone that injects reality – the feeling of reality – into something already real? How strong a connection does that require? How much of a need to share? How much complicity, respect, admiration? How much influence does such a person exert over you? Are you still able to be yourself before such a person? Or does your ’self’ become slightly changed (compromised, if you will) for their benefit? Are your instincts relegated to mere whispers – barely audible ones?

And it always feels good to tell you the truth. Because if I can’t share it with you, it’s almost like it didn’t happen.
