It can protect you from getting too attached to someone else with bad intentions.
It can protect you from falling into the same old patterns.
It can protect you from repeating history.
Sometimes, especially when youre in a vulnerable space, keeping your walls up is actually a good idea.
It allows you to stay cautious.
It allows you to move at a pace that makes you feel comfortable.
It allows you to see someones true colors before you hand them your whole heart.
Sometimes, you should probably take precautions to protect yourself.
Sometimes, your walls are there to save you.
Of course, it’s crucial that you know when to tear those walls down.
Your walls shouldnt be permanent.
They shouldnt be stuck.
Leaving your walls up for too long can do as much damage as not erecting any walls at all.
It can push the right people away.
It can leave you alone and isolated.
It can prevent you from entering the greatest relationship of your life.
What you always need to remember is, sometimes, your walls are going to protect you from heartache.
Other times, they are going to cause your heartache.
Thats why you gotta be careful.
Dont leave them up for too long.
Dont hide behind them forever.
Dont swear off of relationships permanently, simply because you had one or two bad experiences in the past.
Dont lock away your heart without any intention of letting it roam free again.
