Today in Church I had a realization: This guy that was giving a talk today and compared us to the Wizard of Oz, and how we are the cowardly Lion and we need to stand up and fight for our belief's. Well I took it one step further to compare myself to the Tin man. People tell me that I don't have a heart, and I have been told that so many times that I decided to believe it.
Until I realized that I do have a heart, and in actuality I think I have a very large heart. I think my problem is that I love too much. I have let so many people into my heart and they just take it for granted, and after I have been walked all over on and left high and dry, and another piece of me has been taken.
Yes, I do think that people may be partially right when they tell me I don't have a heart. I'm tired of getting my heart ripped out by others and stomped all over that I have blocked off my heart and I don't let people in. Unfortunately as a result of this "protective barrier" I have put around me has in fact actually put me at a disadvantage because I appear heartless.
This year my resolution is to become more approachable and meet new people. So that I can work on opening up myself to others instead of shutting myself off.
That's all. The End.
