Do not let your fears be downsized by others, because it is a monster that grips everyone differently. Its talons will reshape only to scratch where the membrane is thinnest. Do not expect words to translate these fears fully to others. Do not expect the others to understand. Do not give away the fears lightly, because the worst another can do is not to use them against you, but to diminish them in a way that makes you carry their weight yourself. Do not confide in those who call your feelings melodramatic. Do not trust those who admit no fear after you've admitted yours. Do not divulge these secrets hastily even if the weight becomes too much, because a fear rejected by others is ten times more crushing than before. Many are happy to take on your happiness. But even more are afraid to take on your fears.
