Shrink My Heart
Posted on 02.20.10 to Personal by JoanA hard lesson I’ve been somewhat privileged (or not) to learning of late is — the bigger you open your heart, the more susceptible it is to getting hurt. I’ve been experiencing waves and waves of disappointment that has left me yearning for the good ol’ days when I was selfish and a recluse.
I have been asked to consider the feelings of others, but has anyone stopped to consider that my intense feelings only arise after being severely prodded? By most accounts, I let things slide.
My counsellor says I do not suffer fools gladly and does not seem to make it out to be a drastically bad trait to have. Yet, there are also those who are constantly on my back the minute I express my displeasure towards anything.
Yes, I do not suffer fools gladly. I detest avoidant cowards greatly. I abhor people who are full of talk but have no action. And I’m not apologetic about it. I’m not perfect, but at least, I try (sometimes too much).
This girl is tired (and possibly a little lost and drowning).
