Hi ROO, so glad you answered too:-)
Sometimes I feel the need to self-protect ALOT. I really build up walls in my life. I guess it's because I've been hurt a lot, but I know if I use that excuse for the rest of my life~~I may make for a lonely person, and I don't want that for myself. I hear you when you say that in a sense you wish that in expressing any amount of love and passion that it would be returned. I wish that were true too. I'm learning that life has no guarantees. Boy, do I wish it did :-) I hope that you continue to give your love and passion and know inside that you are a good soul for doing so and have the confidence in that even if it is not returned.
Have you ever heard that saying about the definition of FEAR?
F=False
E=Evidence
A=Appearing
R=Real
*May be corny, but it's true. I worry so much and am afraid of a lot in life and am as I write this. If I can just remember my words to you LOL
Good luck!:-)
Take care.
> The need to constantly self protect. Wish I felt like I could express any amount of love and passion without the insecurity and fear that it won't be returned...
that things won't work out...and therefore keep it locked up inside.
Life is too short. But sometimes I feel like a wild horse that has someone (my inner fear person) pulling on the reigns constantly.
