The more people you allow into your life the more chances you have to get hurt. The more people you allow to get close to you, the more you take that risk. But is it easier to be alone? Is it easier to swear off any type of companionship? Maybe you're answer is yes. Maybe not. Maybe your circumstances make it seem like you could or couldn't live without people. Maybe you are hurting and wish you'd never allowed them close to you in the first place. Sometimes it's hard to allow yourself to love. It's harder to allow yourself to be loved. To let someone know your worries and fears. We enjoy sharing the good news but the bad news, the news of struggling and hardship and failure...it's embarrassing. No one wants to tell anyone about fucking up, not truly. It makes you hurt. Makes you feel like you're hurting them. Would that make them wish you had never gotten close to them? There was a Facebook meme that said (something along the lines of) "when you act like you're happy when you're actually hurting it shows how strong you are". But is it stronger to hide your feelings from the world or is it a more powerful gesture to admit that you aren't perfect? The latter shows a fearlessness that fake happiness will never understand. We all hurt, we all fail, we all wish we were better. So don't let your shame get the better of you. It's ok to fall into hard times and have to struggle.
Because why do we fall?
So we can learn to pick ourselves up.
