I’ve begun this journey today…so far it’s not fun…am hoping that it’ll get easier as time goes by. Or at least be appreciated by others.
How to be more open and honest
It made me
understood 
"It's time to stop hiding from people!"
How I did it: I stopped biting my tongue. Even if it wasn't what others wanted to hear, if it was what I felt I needed to say then I said it. Yes, it casued some arguements, yes, sometimes it hurt, me and others, but keeping everything to myself was destroying my soul on a daily basis. At least when one is honest with the people in one's life, then everyone can be on the same page, everyone knows where they stand, and that can only be a good thing.
Lessons & tips:
- Don't let others bully you into doing what you're not comfortable with.
- If someone holds your opinion against you then they don't have much respect for you as a person, and you don't need people in your life that do not respect you.
- The above applies to yourself also, respect yourself! Respect your opinions and values, and you'll find that others will as well.
Resources: Friends and family are always the best place to start. These are people that do (or at least should) love you no matter what, so your honesty and happiness are important to them. Start being honest here, and it will slowly spill over onto other areas of your life.
