It's true that I've built walls when I had fallen on my lowest point, and I no longer want it to be taken against me. I've done it not because I no longer wanted to see people, nor to isolate myself from the world. I've created those to protect myself while I was healing, to shelter my own wounds from those who just wanted to see my bleeding, and to keep my being safe and sane at the same time. I know others saw it as a drastic change I had made, but I have no regrets. It gave me an ample time to tend to my bruises, it offered me enough space to mend and recover.

These days, I am more than okay than I ever was, but I am not taking those walls down-it will stay as it is. From now on, I will be more cautious to welcome new people unto my life. I have learnt my lessons, and now is the right time to put those learnings into actions.
