I'm pretty open with people. Those that know me, know that I don't hesitate for a minute to blurt out whatever I'm thinking. That having been said, there are strategic non-disclosures that exist for the sole purpose of not detrimentally impacting my quality of life.

A guy's gotta work, ya know! There are too many people on the unemployment lines for me to be shouting shit from the rooftops.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
