Then something triggers you and you're crying for about an hour and you really don't understand why.<br />I went for a walk the other day and passed by this elderly couple sitting at a picnic table. The lady had a wheelchair, but was sitting by her husband. He had is arm around her and they were just taking in the sun. I said hello as I walked past and not more than 10 steps later started crying and couldn't stop for awhile.metric152https://www.blogger.com/profile/11587192756320730861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223578063863640680.post-8136557583001444342011-10-14T08:02:41.483-07:002011-10-14T08:02:41.483-07:00*hug* I love you peanut.

Some of us have it drilled in by our parents (high expectations, do better, try harder). Some of it can be a feeling that you need to please people (with how much you can help/do) or that you don't want to feel like a burden.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05937053428274068140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223578063863640680.post-310575827157348382011-10-13T17:12:51.162-07:002011-10-13T17:12:51.162-07:00Letting down your guard is an act of vulnerability...Letting down your guard is an act of vulnerability, which is easily mistaken for weakness. It's why I have the whole "Gonzo" persona that everyone sees. People are often weirded-out and run-off by Kevin. While this has resulted in a chain of unfortunate relationships and alienated friends, it seems like the only thing I can do.<br /><br />I don't and won't presume to act like I know you, what you feel, or the reasons why. But, I think I can relate, and maybe it's worth something to you just knowing that. Maybe not. Either way, I'm sorry you're feeling this way and hope it gets better.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653286487166715302noreply@blogger.com
