IS THIS GROWTH OR JUST A SHIELD
<p>Lately, I’ve noticed a weird change in myself. </p><p><br/></p><p>That "flinch" I used to have is just gone. I can face disappointment or people leaving without it really leaving a mark anymore.</p><p><br/></p><p>But I’m starting to wonder,</p><p><br/></p><p>Is this actually peace, or just a really high wall?</p><p><br/></p><p>I think I’ve stopped "flinching" because I’ve stopped leaning in. When you decide nothing can hurt you, you automatically decide that nothing can move you either. </p><p><br/></p><p>This numbness isn't a lack of feeling, it’s a shield I’ve put up against the people I actually love. I figured if I didn't let them in, they couldn't take a piece of me with them when they left.</p><p><br/></p><p>It’s a survival tactic that works perfectly, right up until you realize you’re just living a life you aren’t actually feeling anymore. </p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe the goal isn't to be bulletproof. Maybe it's just being brave enough to let things hit you again.</p>
