It seems like after the hurt your heart just suffered you're behaving exactly as you should. You haven't "closed" your heart...it just needs to rest a bit till it starts to heal from this...maybe being in your head for a while is a psychic bandaid of sorts...just my 11 cents. ;)Sherrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731762173286561871.post-85989043329321639512010-06-12T13:15:53.455-04:002010-06-12T13:15:53.455-04:00My dear friend,
Be gentle with yourself. You are s...My dear friend,<br />Be gentle with yourself. You are so good at being strong with everyone else. This is a time for you to step inside your cocoon and care for you, with head or heart, sleep or distraction, tears or laughter. I think the heart shuts down some when it needs to store up some energy for the fight ahead. I know there's a metaphor out there but I can't think of it right now. <br />Don't be hard on yourself. You're head knows what your heart needs. Trust it. <br /><br />Be gentle. Be gentle.Merry MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462036349233154101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731762173286561871.post-83705503400677285612010-06-12T09:47:22.873-04:002010-06-12T09:47:22.873-04:00So now I've just answered my own question in r...So now I've just answered my own question in regards to where Josh was playing...<br /><br />And oh Dear Heart...I can feel that pain way over here. Yeah, I can...and one thing I've never been able to do is shut off my heart to keep from feeling it. It is impossible for me. Even when I was going through the thick of things in my life and I would be building walls all around me the heart would not close...course I thought it was...I was tough...I'd survive... in spite of what curveballs were being lobbed at me but...it didn't work that way. Not with my inner child either...because what I had always longed for was a heart that trusted and believed in a world worth living in and all that that entails. Well, that is in a perfect life which we know isn't happening but still...my heart is wide open and still, I hurt. I can't stop it nor would I want to at this stage of the game. But I still hold onto hope.<br />And sometimes I think the head has to, just has to work with the heart...<br />Sending you love and hugs Ter...<br />xoxoxoxoAkasaWolfSonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128887650617351563noreply@blogger.com
