11/22-11/26 Fear Builds Walls


The expression “fear builds walls” can have many meanings. A wall usually means that, that person distrusts you. Of course distrust means fear. In forts and such, they will usually build a wall to protect themselves against these enemies that they have.  A person does not literally build a wall around them, but simply keeps others from getting close to their heart. There is another expression that is “trust builds bridges”. A bridge makes it easier to get places does it not? Well a bridge is pretty much the same as a person trusting you and opening up to you.  A bridge is pretty much the opposite of the wall. Those who often build walls out of fear mean they are very had to get close to. Hopefully soon they will learn to mend their broken hearts so they may open up to people once again. In other words even if the person does not open up to you right away, that doesn’t mean you should give up. Healing takes time. You should trust me on these things because I used to build walls too.  Fortunately for me and my friends, I learned how to turn those walls into bridges to let those people in. Right now I am focusing on teaching other how to do this. It really helps to connect to people who have gone through the same things. As long as you are going through it, there is someone else in the world with the exact same problem. You are never truly alone to why build a bridge so you feel like you are?
