The world is now one big small town.

But within that virtual town square,

there are tiers of relationships,

degrees of intimacy,

and everyone deserves a different amount of you,

a different side.

Now, where those boundaries lie

is up to you.

I try to wait 48 hours before posting and sharing

because that way I can be present

in private with the people I love

before calculating how I'm going to

publicly position it.

And post with purpose.

Before I share, I ask myself: Why?

What's the purpose? And most importantly,

how does it serve the people I love?

Because cultivating a private life is precious.

It's sacred.

Its value is inherent in what you don't share.
