Scared into hiding

I tell people I am neurotic about my personal information because I do not want to be found. The truth is, I long to be discovered by those I abandoned. To be told that my absence is noticed, that my sins can be forgiven. At this point, even a scathing email would be a welcome relief, as it would confirm that my presence meant something. Putting the excuses aside, the fear that no one is looking is the real reason I mask my identity. For the thought that I have been erased—by my own doing—sickens me to no end.

I have felt this way. Then I did the searching ~ people move on, forget, grow as human beings. They didn't look at the things that had happened as being as big of a deal I had made them into for myself. Take a leap of courage, faith, and search them out. If nothing becomes of it, at least you put the wonder to rest, and can live without that shadow. :)
