"Quinn, why are you so hard on yourself?

Why are you scared of showing the real you to others?"

"Why do you fear being vulnerable?"

Those questions were the last words my grandmother asked me before she was gone and I wasn't able to answer those, those questions remained a question of myself to myself and I wasn't able to answer those up until now. Even I myself ask me, why is it that I'm having a really hard time answering those almost a "piece of cake" question to others. I always try finding those right answers anywhere and everywhere, but I guess questions that are supposed to be answered only by yourself have answers that you can only find to your self. That fear of finding those right answers that might eventually just hurt me are the things that's stopping me from answering those questions. The fear that those answers can only be found in the reality that I'm trying so hard to escape, those flakes from my past that I try so hard to forget. The fact that I grew up being a consistent honor student but I turn into a stupid and an idiot when it comes to Love or rather; when it comes to certain someone. That puts me to those "what if's", that the only way of answering is by facing those fears that covers me like a cloak and preventing me from exploring myself - the real me.
