You can miss out of a lot of great people and family if you write them off if they "don't live up to your expectations". And likewise, people can miss out on you if you don't let the wall down some.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90408787982450670.post-34468362371436483482009-07-27T17:19:54.654-04:002009-07-27T17:19:54.654-04:00Sissy, this is great.

It is great that you are examining your heart in this area and desiring to change, if need be. I pray God reveals to you His heart in this manner and that you continue to have a blessed summer!

I've wasted so much time trying to control everything instead of enjoying new experiences.<br />I wonder what it's like to live freely? I can only imagine. Maybe we'll figure it out one day.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525780741420745603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90408787982450670.post-68358189048512698502009-07-24T14:47:07.314-04:002009-07-24T14:47:07.314-04:00i love that post because i have asked myself those...i love that post because i have asked myself those questions too. i've always been afraid to try new things, to open myself up to new possibilities. i think we all think we know what are lines are and we don't want to see what would happen if those get crossed because we are afraid it will be bad or just afraid. sometimes i'm even afraid it will be good. isn't that weird. <br /><br />i understand, is what i'm trying to say.Melissa Stoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12839619836478423452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90408787982450670.post-13316768510439835782009-07-24T07:52:41.610-04:002009-07-24T07:52:41.610-04:00You are so normal.

I totally understand wanting to keep these hurtful things to yourself.<br />I have similar lines and when I trust someone and let them inside the boundary, it's a big deal. I am often afraid that admitting the emotions out loud seems to give them more life, but still, I usually feel better after. My best friend has taller walls than I do. She is private and vulnerable and I love her, walls and all. I keep chipping away at them and can tell you, she's worth the effort. I'm sure your friends think the same of you. Definitely worth it!Karriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08008823683819647023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90408787982450670.post-58328785133857629222009-07-24T01:07:26.008-04:002009-07-24T01:07:26.008-04:00sissy,

He knows best anyway. thanks for being open about a struggle that we all can relate to!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284452629366968350noreply@blogger.com
