Sometimes, we hide the most from the people we love the dearest. Maybe it's because we know they care. Maybe we're afraid to admit it aloud at all. Maybe we don't want to burden them with more. Maybe we're frustrated because we feel that if we're hiding something from them, they're hiding something from us, and while we know we want to know their troubles and help them because we love them, we can't ever know for sure if they want to know our troubles and help us.
In the end, we keep ourselves covered in our layers, carefully shielding our deepest secrets even when we wish we could take it all off and expose ourselves to those we love, in the faint hope that they could just hug us and make it all go away for the length of that hug.
But if there is a rare moment where we shrug off a bit of our protective shell and let someone in, even just for a moment, that's where we find our deepest friendships.
