My mom always used to say 'nobody can hurt you unless you let them'. And my dad always said 'if you're scared of doing something, then do it while being afraid, but do it!'.
These two statements have made most of who I am today. . and the fact that I don't believe in holding onto regrets.
I think there is a part of me doesn't give anyone the power to hurt me. And though in a way it makes me strong, sometimes I feel vulnerable knowing that one single person can hurt me beyond measure, even if that someone is me! I can get frustrated/bugged/disappointed/irritated with people, but not hurt by them. Just as a person can't choose if a negative things happens in his/her life, but can choose whether they want to keep suffering for it.
There is a part of me that keeps me detached from the world and away from the hurt. . . well, that's what is usually seems like!
It's interesting, knowing that nobody can hurt me. . . but also makes me feel like it's too easy for me to hurt myself. . . coz people do that, a lot, in life!
Somehow I feel strong and in control of my life and situations around me, and yet, something makes me feel like I'm an open book and as vulnerable as a child!
I guess I have a shell around me that protects me but at heart, I'm a total softy! ;)
