Its cool to expose yourself.

It is cool to expose yourself!  Look my darlings, I am not advocating popping your naked body into a trench coat and terrorizing people on the streets by whipping it open, I am taking about exposing who you really are and learning to recognize, embrace, fall in love with,, and then "expose" and live with who you really are in all its geeky, loud, obnoxious, snotty, moody, shy, awkward, unsure, bold, audacious, pompous, yes, sometimes drunken, foolish, repeat-the-same-mistakes-over-and-over, train wreck of a self.

My path to embracing my own train wreck of self is being reinforced through reading the works of an author I recently discoverd named Cheryl Strayed.  She wrote "Wild" and "tiny beautiful things-Advice on love and life from Dear Sugar".  So cool #1 is exposing yourself (any way you see fit!), cool #2 is Cheryl Strayed and anything written by her and to continue the journey of self exploration reading helps so, cool #3 is a site called goodreads.com. A site where friends and strangers share comments and recommendations about the best books they just read or the worst--even the coolest.  Cool.
