Today I begin to suspect my reluctance to hand in my final project for graduate school has to do with my tendency to remain a private individual. My project deals with personal details of traumatic events; I struggle with revealing too much or not enough. Reality TV says it is ok to reveal everything, but I don't feel that way. I feel exposing myself 100% cheapens or lessens my traumatic experiences. My project reveals information that I simply do not want the whole world to know. I am not ashamed, but my boundaries tell me how far I should go. And so...I will tell--but not all. If you ask, I may share, or I may not. I will let the moment decide.
