And the walls, come tumbling down.
And the walls, come tumbling down. I don't believe the human soul is made to be solitary. We are better when we are beside someone. We are more productive when we have someone that we can rely upon, and conversely, we can rely on them. Our thoughts seem less jumbled, when we can express them to someone without feeling judged or thought to be silly. Or better yet, with someone who shares a similar outlook. It's just a fact that human touch does wonderful things to us on both a physical and emotional level. We just aren't made to be solitary creatures. My biggest problem after I first got divorced in truly connecting with ladies, was the walls I had constructed around my heart and emotions. These weren't some little two-bit, insignificant walls. These were 50 feet high, 10 foot thick, steel reinforce palisades. Designed to keep everyone from getting too close, and locking in all of my most protected thoughts and emotions. From the way I share and blab on here, you could rightly deduce, I've torn down most of those walls. Some took time. Some took explosives. Some just naturally eroded. But gradually over time, I learned to trust. I came to realize the walls did as much to limit my thoughts and emotions, as they did to shelter me. A facade I've come to abandon, happily. Over the last ten , I'd like to think I've grown as a person, due in part, to allowing people in. Discussing thoughts and emotions, without tempering my feelings. sure a lot of who I gets exposed, due to not worrying about the consequences of letting others see who I . What I think. How I feel. It's damn near impossible to expose your feelings, without occasionaly experiencing some hurt. But, in my opinion, the benefits of being honest and open with others, outweigh the risks. We all keep some small barriers up, but mine aren't too hard to get around these days. Do you live behind walls? Are they just part of who you are, or were they erected for a specific reason? If they're really big walls, you don't have to answer that one. I don't know what your walls are made of, or why you constructed them. Only you can tell if you can pull any of it down. Maybe just enough to find someone willing to scale them the rest of the way. I understand walls. Mine are more just fences now.

A line I love from a song, that says a lot to me. And I'd rather hurt, than feel nothing at all..Lady Antebellum " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

Another great read and well said, we all have those emotional barriers and looks like you have done a great job breaking them for the most part down. For me I don't have those walls as I am who I am take me as I am. I don't hold shit in I tell it like it is, my philosophy for the most part has been either you like me or you don't im not here to impress anyone..

Walls...? Sometimes they are there and sometimes they just dissolve. Really depends on how much of myself I feel like sharing. When I don't have the energy or patience to explain: why, and how and when and what I felt, my 'switch', turns 'off' and I walk through the gate, and back behind my wall. It's a nice place... and the company is entertaining... ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Yes I live behind walls and they will never come down again. There are a handful of people I trust now and even they don't get too close. ~~Anais Nin~~

The image I get from your post is of a wall like the Berlin Wall. That's not my wall. My walls are like house walls ..... with windows and a door. Many can see me through the windows but few are allowed past the door. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Many can see me through the windows but few are allowed past the door. I like you're description of your set up. Still there, but there is an access point for those you trust. Smart move.

Remember when younger we just threw caution to the wind and went for it? And then , age, time, experiences happened. Therefore walls. I hate that I have them. I won’t even get a pet, the pain of losing them just guts me to the core. So, yes I do have walls. I just realized that I miss loving someone a lot more than someone loving me.

That's a great point. When someone messes with you wall , it can be a devastating event. But when someone knocks down a little bit of fence, it's no big deal. Just a few new boards and some nails. I love both the songs alluded to in this post. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

I know I built the walls in myself. I wasn't like that as a young man, and I'm not that way now. It was just self preservation, or so I thought. We all do what we have to , in order to get to the next phase. I hope you find someone worthy of your trust, that helps you pull the walls down a little lower.

Every interaction is a relationship, in my opinion. How deep or far it goes is up to us. Great point on the intuition.. If you listen to yourself and have the willpower, walls aren't always necessary. Sadly, lots of us get caught up in the emotion and ignore those screaming warnings our intuition is telling us. Been there and done that too many times. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

I think we all have the ability to throw up temporary defensive walls. But they're a lot easier to let someone breach, once they're not so set in stone. So to say.. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

They're both fun to play LOL...does that help at all.. how about i sing. Little ditty about Jack and Diane Two American kids growin' up in the heartland Jackie gonna be a football star Diane debutante backseat of Jackie's car Mine didn't come down over night. But one could argue, the fact that I don't mind being wrong, and will listen to other's opinions. is a wall of it's own. I don't care if I'm wrong, or I end up with some heartache, as long as I learn from it. It's still just a wall, just not a wall that blocks out every thing else. Just a thought " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

Man... I have paper thin walls if we're going with that analogy. Easy to tear down, easy to put right back up. Seems to happen less and less as I get older tho. I've owned my heartbreaks and my issues more now so I don't need to protect myself from any romantic threats as much lol

My blog name is- behind the blog wall I’ve been around this place since 2006. Yup, I had several different names along the way. I have had many blog friends who have left and many are still here (that I use to read). Some people are real and some are not. I’m just here to blog. I’m not here to meet. I’m not here for love ( I could use a muse) and I am not here for sex. I enjoy reading and chatting on the blogs. I enjoy writing and replying. This world can be very complicated if you are dragged into drama. It will suck the life/fun out of you. I like the fun around this place. I think once I get to know someone the wall will might crumble. We will see. 💕

Yeah, I can see that aspect. It gets harder and harder to trust people, when it seems everyone is out to prove they can't be trusted. Then you start second guessing yourself, because you want to trust.... It's a viscous cycle . " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

I've owned my heartbreaks and my issues more now so I don't need to protect myself from any romantic threats as much lol I have gotten to that point slowly. I still have some heartaches, but I'd rather have that, then the oblivion that is not feeling at all.. Great thoughts, thanks.

I certainly live behind walls, which I constructed myself without even being aware of it. They were so easy to build, and are now so hard to break down. I wonder if that is because the person who built them may not be the same person that will break them down. She's still changing, and hasn't yet found the Key. Check out my profile or and become a "watcher" of my blog FMAOPLS,to learn more about me, and for intelligent, lively, smartassy and fun discussion, with a little irreverence thrown in. "Like" or comment on my photos, and I promise I'll add more. Thanks.

I can't say they're not a good thing for some people. I just found, that for me, they were stifling. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

Well you live and learn. I don't really know what to say about my walls other than it would be hard for me to adapt to another person living with me. LOL I think I would need to start all over somewhere with a clean slate. Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely
