The quote from Emma is too true. How often do we lay our souls completely bare? Even in writing, I've known myself to hold back what would be true to a situation or a character. In blogging, even more so. It is too easy to portray yourself the way you want to be perceived. And for that reason I am resolving to show all of who I am.
This is why I like Jane Austen's writing so much - it is honest; brutally and hilariously honest. She calls everything as she sees it, and writes about it in such a superb satirical style.
I'll leave you with another pearl of wisdom from Jane:
"What wild imaginations one forms where dear self is concerned! How sure to be mistaken!"
Here's to honesty, clarity, and a disposal of rose-tinted glasses. Have a great weekend, all!
