Picture yourself standing in front of a large crowd, a
bewildered sea of faces that awaits every single word that may fall out of your
mouth. For a couple of seconds, every single fiber of your being is lying
naked. Every unique sentiment that springs out of your precious little heart,
shows. This is love. Exposure.
Don’t be scared, don’t run away! Exposure is beautiful
and intimidating at the same time. It’s an indication of power and weakness at
the same time. Exposure is the power to give away all your secret weapons, all
your smothered insecurities to someone else so you can have bits and pieces of
love back. It is a weakness for some
people – trading parts of your precious life for instants of Eros. But…don’t be
unsettled; expose yourselves!
Being exposed is the act of being bare-naked in front
of someone who is going to be able to tinker with your feelings and weaknesses.
You are not in the position to know whether they will caress your insecurities
or drag them sick and half-dead out in the street. It is a game; a game in
which you can be either equal or a loser. It is a risk; a temptation naturally
difficult not to succumb to. It is the essence of our very existence as
sentimental and fragile entities in this world; the profound substance of both
happiness and misery. But, you can never earn seconds of happiness or seconds
of misery if you don’t participate in this game; so, take a big breath, step to
the front and expose yourselves!
