Why is it so hard to let people in? Why do we find it so hard to trust people? Is it all just in the fear of allowing ourselves to be happy?
Being happy or sad makes us vulnerable. The extreme emotions make us prime targets.
People are constantly passing us by but while many of them only stop off in our lives for a short amount of time, the ones who really mean something stay forever. Nonetheless, it’s easy to forget that it’ll always be a two-way thing. If this weren’t the case, no-body would get hurt.
If we don’t show our feelings, we miss out on what we want but at the same time if we open up and let people in, we’re allowing ourselves to be vulnerable. Friendships break to make better things, but friendships also break down to nothing if one side feels differently. And that’s why we’re scared.
But it all becomes so clear when you touch my hand…
