You are an OPEN BOOK


You may say that that your best friend is the most open book you've ever met, and that you yourself are a closed book. Maybe you say that you open sometimes, but usually remain closed , depending on the reader.

Guess what.

You are an open book- whether or not you're aware of it. Perhaps not open to the pages, but at least the inside and back covers, which is enough. Covers were meant to be observed, not judged. The same goes for people. Your aura speaks volumes, which will either scare or intrique a potetial reader- maybe both! Your writer's micro-autobiography and your summary on the inside front cover may not seem much, maybe invisible, but not nonexistent.

The very fact that you're a closed book proves how open you are about your own openess. We may never gain enough trust to get to see your nitty-gritty details, but we can see you in your most simple form.
