Yet as things are now, I cannot really go back expressing emotions all bare and open lol!

This I can totally get behind, I feel the same that the facade has gone on for far too long to tear it down now!

It must be nice to be loved by kids! I kinda avoid them.

I'll have to say I'm blessed in that regard! I do avoid kids at times and that probably comes from teaching kids for long, long hours! They can really tire you out hehe! But when it's your own blood, everything seems to change :)
