The walls inside us

Walls are built to fortify and protect. To keep that which is precious in and that which is dangerous out. To draw boundaries.

The walls we build inside ourselves, to protect parts of us, versions of us should be examined from time to time. Look inward, be honest with yourself. Are your walls protecting a version of you? Are they protecting your fear? Are they protecting your love? Are they crumbling? Are they strong? Have they been completed or are they still being built? Is there a gate, and do you have the key?

Silly questions, maybe. Consider them each.

Protecting a version of you, may hinder you from change and growth. Strive to be confident in yourself, in your foundation, and let yourself change and experience, understand and learn.

Consider, to what purpose do you have walls around fear. These walls will never be strong enough, large enough, long enough. I say the fear is inside you, and no walls will ever be able to contain it for fear that is not face will always multiply and manifest in your life. Do not confuse fear as self, courage is self and fear is the soil from which it grows.

Love cannot be walled. It is impossible. Love is not yours; you borrow it. If you think you have put a wall around your love, release yourself from that delusion, inside those walls is fear, likely entangled with hurt or pain or experience or uncertainty. Love will seep through any wall, any boundary. Love flows through all things. You get to hold it, be in it, you do not get to keep it selfishly or protect it. Love is not selfish; it needs no protection.

What other walls do we have inside us, what do they hide, who do they protect, how heavy are the bricks we carry to keep that which is inside trapped and hidden.

I believe in you.

Keep smiling, you’re worth it

Always Yours
