Jasper FfordeI would so hate to be a first-person character! Always on your guard, always having people read your thoughts!
About This Quote
The idea that we should never say anything that we don’t mean, and not ever be vulnerable to others, is nothing short of ridiculous. The only thing worse than being read by others is not being read by others. If you hide all of your thoughts away in your mind, you are only hurting yourself. It’s like you are putting up a wall between yourself and the people in your life who would love to be part of your life.
If you are reading this, I am sure that there are people who would like to be with you for all of the right reasons. You don’t need to worry about them; you can let them see your true self without any reservation.
