The thing about love is that it's beautiful and kind...
It can also be tricky, and messy.. and sometimes it hurts too.
A lot of people take it for granted.. so much so, they get greedy and selfish, or jealous of the way others give or receive a kind of love.
A lot of people are torn and hurt by it, they shut it out completely
By any means.. be it pushing everyone away, or building up walls...
All of us have some sort of defense mechanism.. or a coping skill...
Something to protect themselves against love.
Me? I bottle every emotion.. pain, anger, sadness.. sometimes love...
When the bottle gets too full, I put on a mask and smile.. a lot...
I hate it.. and I know it's not healthy.. but it's all I know how to do...
We all mask, hide, bottle, or build walls.. whatever works best to ease the pain.. even if it's only for the moment.. if it's only temporary
There's also the fact that.. we're blocking it from BOTH sides.
To better explain, it's a lot cutting your blood circulation...
Just as your blood needs to flow throughout your body.. so do your thoughts and emotions.. allow yourself to feel.. let someone in...
If we don't.. if we don't feel, and no one knows what's going on...
Then we become cold, emotionless, numb, empty, and all alone.
