Oooh, shiny!

Silence is golden, but like the "heart of gold" that can't even beat, All things golden are not always good.

I wish i didn't retreat to the silence. I'm so afraid of hurting others and even of being wrong, that I don't say anything. But I have too.

I'm going to track my progress daily for a week. If I meet an oppurtunity to speak out and take it, i get a point. if I don't speak, I lose a point. I'll post my (hopefully positive) score next week.
