love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. if you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. but in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. it will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”
-C.S. Lewis
it's time to change some things. day after day i continue to avoid difficult thoughts. i do my best to keep my emotions tied up and locked away. it's destroying me.
relationships with family, friends - everyone - are hindered by my selfishness. God help me open myself up to those i care about. dig from deep within me the struggles i have kept hidden so well.
make me vulnerable. make me loving. make me genuine...
