Well, that’s kind of contradictory isn’t it?

What I really mean is writing personal experiences and making it seem like fiction.

That still won’t be totally fiction would it? Because it was based on real events.

What would that bring about though?

If the person who read that story found out that you wrote your experience with him/her, would he/she be mad? Happy? What?

It’s pretty confusing.

Ever asked someone a question and found yourself in an awkward situation with that person?

I have.

Thing is, we all have hundreds and hundreds of questions in that squishy pink (or gray, whatever its color is) thing hiding inside our skulls. Yes, our brain.

We ask questions everyday. Some have simple answers, while other are quite complex. Some are considered taboo questions in some parts of the world, or maybe to a specific gender.

There’s a saying that goes, “Some things are better left unanswered.”

I can say I agree on that, depending on what that thing is and what you feel about that thing. (Okay, I think that was a bit vague.)

Let’s see.

Questions arise when we encounter an experience or something new or unusual or both. Questions come when we want to learn. Questions allow us to get information about friends, family, relationships, and anything you can think of.

But sometimes, questions lead to misunderstandings, fights, and more questions that trouble our brain.

What’s a sensitive question then?

It’s a question that can be hard to ask and has an answer that you might not want to hear. A question that can lead to quarrels and misunderstandings. A question that makes things awkward once asked.

So why do some people still ask these questions? Why do they still trouble themselves in getting an answer they might not want to hear? Curiosity did kill the cat, didn’t it? So why?

Why bother ruining a relationship you’ve built so well with a single question? Why let it out when you’ve kept it inside you for so long?

There’s your answer.

It’s been inside your brain for so long that you can no longer stop the thirst for knowledge. It’s something that you’ve always wanted to ask but can’t because of the risks you thought it came with. It’s something that could make or break a relationship with someone, the person you’re directing the question to.

But what do we do? Can we just leave these questions unanswered? Why or why not?
