Overexposed

Do you sometimes feel overexposed?  Merriam-Webster defines overexpose as leaving something without covering or protection for too long.

I believe that sometimes I am leave myself uncovered and vulnerable to overexposing myself.  There have been life experiences over the last few months in which I am thinking I am just being me and “real” by opening up my whole world to people and these same people take my exposure for granted.

I have often said that I am transparent but being transparent doesn’t mean I have to be overexposed.

For a while I have been reflecting on this feeling of overexposure.  It often gives me a sense of melancholy.  Instead of dealing with this feeling I find more things to get myself involved in to mask it.  I mean currently I am in school, volunteer with my girls high school band, dance classes, work full time, etc…  But as soon as I sit down and pause for a moment the lingering feeling of overexposure surfaces again.

In order for me to deal with this I plan on continuing to blog about it.  I will start a series possibly.  If you can relate to what I am talking about leave a comment below and tell me your story…

Peace and Blessings
