Blocking Your Heart From Love

For so long I’ve been protecting myself from pain, I didn’t know I was pushing the possibility of love away. I was so scared of getting hurt and being lied to that I was pushing away people that actually care about me. Having your guard up is ok, but don’t push away the people that want to be there for you. By doing this you are hurting them and yourself. I’ve already pushed people away because I felt like they could hurt me. I felt myself becoming vulnerable which scared me. Don’t be so closed off that you become blind to the love that’s around you. It’s okay to let someone in and express your pain to them. Great advice can be given and shared. I feel that by allowing myself to be open again, I won’t feel alone with my feelings. I will still have my guard up to a certain extent but not as much as I did before. I don’t want to block my blessings and miss out on someone great one day.
