There was a time where i had a big heart i would love,trust and care for others easily But somewhere along the way i've been hurt i built a wall and everytime i feel i'm getting too close to someone i get scared and push them away scared of getting hurt

All too many times people will say they don't trust due to past experiences. What they don't realize is that they have built up those proverbial walls to protect them from the very thing they are searching for...

yes, there is a risk in trusting someone, but when you finally find that 'right' person, it makes all the past experiences and lessons learned very much worth the risk. All of life's little lessons do not have to be painful..even when they seem so at the time.You just have to chalk it up to experience and move on.


but why allow past betrayals to prolong the pain by building a fortress around your heart that not only protects you from pain/betrayal, but also denies you the ability to experience happiness and joy?

what happens when after building the wall you allow it to crumble because you felt you've met the right one?History repeats itself along the line and you tend to build another wall,3times stronger than the previous one
