there is this "thing" that i like to call "the wall of dani"; which is constructed like the wall of china. it guards my heart and my mind from anything and everyone. more recently however, i have been realizing that if i don't let my guard down, at all, i am shit out of luck on living. 9 times out of 10, every opportunity i have been given, mostly with men, i have missed out on because i walk around with massive armor on because i am scared shitless of getting hurt. well FUCK THAT SHIT. i cannot do that anymore. i have realized that i am hurting myself more by guarding myself. and so what if i let my guard down and get hurt? isn't there some saying that you learn from every experience? so, i'll roll with a few punches, learn from it, and move on. simple as that.
amen.
now let YOUR guard down.
Seriously, you can't go through life thinking every person you encounter will be like the last. It's not fair to the new person and it is especially not fair to you. We have all had our hearts ripped to shreds and we all carry baggage, but you cannot let that fear rule your life, or you will miss out on something extremely special. *hugs*
