It seems simple, but yet so complex.

Continuing my "new season, new me" mantra, I went out on limb and did something I haven't done in a while. I went on a date. That being a whole separate story, I wanted to bring up a conversation me and my date had. We were making casual conversation par for the course, when he asked me very matter of factly: "Tell me something about yourself that your embarrassed/scared to admit."

Uhhhmm excuuuuuuuse YOU!? I was surprised at how forward and private a question he was asking. I guess he saw the look on my face because he clarified by saying: "What's the big deal? Everyone has some dirty laundry to air, and if you can't tell a stranger, who can you tell?

Not only did this challenge me, but I think I was impressed with his matter-of-fact response. You don't get answers if you don't ask questions. Here I sit, 4 days later, and I am still pondering my appropriate, safe answer. What's my dirty laundry? What is yours?
