Naked...

...And they were both naked, the man and his wife...and were not ashamed...


I do not know how peoples thoughts work but here is how mine works...i read/hear something and ruminate over it, sometimes i obsess about it enough to write a post like the above line...
That is from the bible anyway if you haven't figured that yet...
i have said it before but i will say it again...the bible is one of the most interesting books ever...
if you read it like you read a regular book...to learn not to judge you, you actually learn more but i digress...


I have always pondered as to how much of oneself to share with the significant other... When i meet a couple, especially if i know one of them intimately to understand their flaws and challenges and past...
i always wonder if the person they are with knows their story...
How much of yourself is to be shared with your significant other?
I mean no one shares their life history immediately they meet someone special but as the friendship progresses do you tell them all and see if they accept you or do you hold back in fear that they cannot handle it and will bolt?


I dated a guy once, he had a daughter when he was 19...
I had seen the child a few times at his parents house...
in fact i believe i asked whose child it was...a mumble was what i received...
I found out later she was his...from a friend...
I remember calling and saying "hey why didn't you tell me?"
Like how does one keep such an obvious thing away from whoever they are dating?
It made me question the person he was...


I hear so many stories of people discovering MAJOR issues when their emotions are already heavily invested...
then the other person feels deceived and lied to...for sometimes to withhold is to lie...
so yes should you tell all , tell some, or not tell at all?
Some people have selective memory...how much "selection is done"?
What makes the cut and what doesn't?


Back to the first line...and they were both naked and they were not afraid...
Oh well one can argue they had no past...
Adam was fresh off the ground and Eve was fresh off his rib...
Yet my thoughts have obsessed over this line for weeks now because i believe that this was the original intention...
To be naked...to say this is who i am, are you willing to accept me for this and lets roll together...
or are you scared that i have too much baggage and drama so this is the end of the road...
I do not seek answer, i only seek to express my thoughts...
I leave this post here...


If you haven't noticed...I am still restless...
