Life

I found that I was throwing myself into life and expecting it to catch me, and sometimes it let me fall.

Not to break completely, but to fracture bits and pieces of my stability to force myself to take a step back and mend the parts of my heart that I set up for wear and tear by overflowing my emotional foundation and bending boundaries I should’ve set within myself to not over give and under accept.

I learned that romanticizing a future with unstable people and incomplete hearts and paths to mold and fit together a life that I, nor anyone,

could guarantee, setting myself up to be broken, scarred, but mended and healed once I realized that guarding your heart doesn’t need to be a way to shut others out, but rather to help build each other up without emptying your own bucket.

After all, you may need some of that later :)
