Pain:
" I don't forgive people because I'm weak. I forgive them because I am strong enough to know people make mistakes."

It's a sense of hurt but there are two different types. There is physical pain and emotional pain. Of course, right off the top of your head, you think getting cut open would hurt so much more than a broken heart. In reality, they both leave scars. The difference being you see the physical scar on someone you first meet. The emotional scar is hidden under the surface. You've got to prove you won't deepen that scar before you actually see it. If you still think physical pain hurts worse, you've never truly had your heart broken.

Trust:
" Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do. - Benjamin Spock "

It's not guaranteed. There are people who trust no matter what. Very few people in this world are guarded but occasionally, you find one of those few. They are not to be looked down upon. They are not to be rejected but given just enough time to tear down those walls. Lies build up these walls and only the truth can tear them down. Only the truth can free the heart again.

Understanding:
"You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.”

Putting yourself in another person's situation; seeing it through their eyes; making sure you understand the situation well enough. Shoving yourself and your entire being into the concept to grasp it completely. You will then truly understand. Giving yourself to someone else is something most of us don't understand but as people, it's what we're all out looking for. That one person who understands you completely.

Innocence:
" “For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”- Ralph Waldo Emerson"

Innocence is the one thing we only receive once. It's gone for good once it's gone. There is no turning back, once you loose sight of your values, forgiveness doesn't matter much in your head.

Are you a leader or a follower? Do you follow your head or someone else's? The world is full of leaders. The world is also full of followers. You choose which one you are. You pick once. When you decide to be a leader, you have strong views and stand your ground. When you decide to be a follower, your foundation is shaky and you're never really sure what to do or what is "right". Getting lost in a sea of insecurities could ruin a person. Anyone could see that some of us crave love because we need it. Others crave it because they feel as if they want it. Very few don't crave it all because they've never experienced it. But, once they do, it's almost an addiction.

Give your heart a break somethings. The more hurt you run from, the more you'll find. The more perfect you want something, the worse it will be. Guard your heart and never let it break. It's hard to believe this if you've never experienced pain, but once you experience it, you'll never let yourself feel it again.

"I self destruct every relationship so that I don't get hurt... but in truth I just hurt myself worse in the long run.."

Jealousy:

“Never waste a minute of your precious life by squandering it thinking about people you don't like”

Everything changes. The table's turned and now it's the state of confusion. It's the bump in the road. What's the next step you wonder? None of us really know. We don't know who to turn to. You've felt this emotion before, and to be honest, you're quite familiar with it. You begin shutting everyone out again. It's your weakness. You're a strong person but everyone has a weakness. No one wants to face their weakness, no one wants to conquer it, and no one knows how to do either of these. You begin to let go of your strength and let the weakness flood through your veins. You let your weakness get the best of you. Jealousy roars through your body. You can't contain it. You feel as if you open up, you might explode. You feel anger and hate towards just about everyone. You begin to loose sight of who you really are and become that someone you swore you would never be. You swore you wouldn't do the things you're doing but hey, it's never too late. Turn everything around and be the person you want to be. Who says otherwise?

History:
"Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again." - Vincent van Gogh

Living with your past on your heart. People bringing up old scars can be an intense struggle. People trying to see what's really inside your heart. They try to find the pain you have covered up. The covering you've built over time to guard your heart. The covering that is so thick and so far from transparent. It's grown and grown thicker over time. No one knows how to pull apart the layers slowly to see it. No one sticks around long enough. Every once in a while, someone will peel back a layer and as soon as they walk away, that layer and another one piles on. It's inevitable. You can't change a person but you can change the way that person sees you.
