"Es imposible hablar o escribir sin aparentemente abrirse indefensamente"
— Herman Melville

Simplified Meaning:
When we talk or write, we are sharing our thoughts, feelings, and ideas with others. This means that we are opening ourselves up, showing people who we are. Just like when you share a secret with a friend, you are trusting that they will listen and understand rather than judge you. For example, if you write a story based on your personal experiences, you are allowing others to see a part of your life, making you feel vulnerable. This openness can feel risky because people might misunderstand or criticize you. However, being open is also how we connect deeply with others and build trust. It’s important to embrace this vulnerability because it’s a part of honest communication and making meaningful relationships.
