Total Disclosure of who we are in our secret life of our minds or the spillover into the real world is rarely, if not ever, a good idea. I understand your reluctance to let your sister know any of that life but do understand your feeling you having to tell her some of it. I hope it turns out to be a good confidence and a real growing experience for her.
Trust is a hard thing to give and can only be given in bits and pieces as it is earned. My lady friend has given me that most precious thing. Her trust that I will not judge her or betray it. I know she has some things she has not told me and am fine with that. If she feels she wants me to know she will tell me. There are some things I know a part of but not all. I may have curiosity but will never ever ask. I have told her much but certainly not all. For some it is because I do not understand the thoughts or roots of them myself.
She uses art, painting and drawing to get her demons and unknowns out, Sounds like that journal is your way. I just know that if some of them are forever held in they can make your life a misery at best a ruin at worst.
I do not know how she has decided, correctly, that I can be trusted but I am so honored that she has. Her trust earns mine but we both have secrets. So does every person on the planet. Telling a trustworthy person some of your secrets, or just a blank page can help you grow in understanding of you, telling the whole world makes a mess.
I guess to get to the point, I am not sure telling your sister some things was as you say brave, but it certainly was loving and caring. I have seen the measure of you heart and soul and it is large and good.

If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin."

I always behave. Preferably not well.

Hello my dear,
sorry for the delayed response... summer time you know.

I'm with you on all your points. Like you, I probably would have gone to the grave with my private life /this other side to my self, if it hadn't been for this situation.

"Perhaps its for the best."
Is it for the best? If it works for you and keeps you feeling "safe" then it is. Its that simple.

Hugs,
Jules


No worries hun. Hope you're enjoying the summer time,

Sometimes the simple things feel complex too

Thanks and hugs back at ya hermosa

I don't think my sister (oddly enough - name "Julie") would ever accept the me of the last 7 years. I don't think she could even wrap her head around it. We are (and always have been) so very different aside from our brown hair and brown eyes. I hope she never learns about this because I think she'd think less of me and that would break my heart.

I do have one very close friend that I've known for nearly 30 years that does know my secret (or at least most of it). She doesn't judge me on it. She doesn't really "get it" either.
