To Share or Not to Share?

Sometimes I wonder… am I keeping this whole thing a secret?

It’s not that I’m hiding it exactly, but I haven’t posted on social media. I have hundreds of “friends,” but how many of them are really friends? The kind who show up, check in, or even notice when something big is going on?  How many would actually count me as their friend  

There’s a part of me that wants to keep this experience close to my heart. Private. Sacred. Safe. It feels personal in a way that doesn’t quite fit the scroll-and-swipe rhythm of a social media feed.

But then, the other thoughts creep in.

What if my story could help someone else? What if something I share brings understanding, comfort, or even just a little hope to someone going through their own hard thing?

That’s the tug-of-war I feel. Between wanting to protect my peace and wanting to offer it up for someone else’s.

I still don’t know the right answer. Maybe there isn’t one. Maybe it’s just okay to take it one post, one moment, one decision at a time.
