I don't generally hold back, except on very private things that maybe my SO wouldn't want me to discuss publicly. I also avoid posting too many pics, because who knows where those can get to. I sometimes wonder if I have contradicted myself or said something without thinking it over properly and if that might come and smack me in the face sometime (like I've seen happen to a few people on here), but so what if it did? We all have some contradiction in ourselves, and that makes us human.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
