Free Advice: Write Poetry!

Even though through much of my life I have had good friends, I didn't feel the need to spill my inner most details with them. I felt throwing many of my personal problems at them would possibly harm our friendship or possibly even make them feel less about me.

Since the society around me spread the lie of "diaries and journals are for women", I believed it. I didn't want to have others find the diary and spread the juicy details of my life to others. I have siblings, and sometimes siblings do what siblings do.

Instead, I turned to poetry.
