🎧 Narrated by Ada Sinclair & Jameson Adams

I hide behind humor . . . Because that's what you do to deflect the traumas of your past—to make people believe you're something you're not. Completely fine. When in fact, you're broken—a shell of the man you want to be.

Despite my past, I made something of myself. As the COO of my best friend's company, I aim to be the best at everything—business, life, in the bedroom. I earned myself an ego in all areas.

Then she walked in. Paisley Drake—the temptation I can't resist. Spirited. Artistic. Seductive. I have to have a taste.

But there's just one problem—one night with her would never be enough.

I'm that guy who always ditches the next morning. Though she's worked her way under my skin, my past haunts me every step of the way. I'm going to hurt her.

But when she leaves, taking a secret with her, will our guarded hearts be open enough for us to find the happiness we least expected?

You have caused me to build my walls back up again. Walls that have not been up for a while now. But now, with each passing day, I find myself adding another brick to it. And I can't help it. Something inside me just keeps telling me to protect my heart.

Pouring Out My Mind

How and why did I allow myself to get to this point? I want to pull my heart from my chest to stop myself from feeling anything. I'm not one to have hope involving people, because every time I do, they let me down. The human quality. I let my guard down for the first time in years, despite the facts I already knew. It's just me breaking my own heart. Living with depression isn't easy, so when something sad or hurtful happens, it's completely unbearable. I cry myself to sleep, and can't quit crying when I'm awake. I have felt nothing but pain my entire life, so sleeping is the closest thing I get to peace. Being numb would be better than this. Maybe I wanted it a little too much. I thought maybe there was reciprocation. Time to rebuild my wall and realize no matter what or who or how much, that barrier needs to stay. I'm no princess. I protect me. I'll dry my eyes, say my prayers, get some peace, and smile tomorrow as if it doesn't hurt

I have all these feelings and emotions that just build and build with nowhere to go. I'm too guarded, I don't know how to let my walls down, how to let my emotions out. So I'll just do what I do best and build these walls even higher to hold these over flowing thoughts and feelings.

Never look up

Keep your head down in a hallway of whispers

Emerge the mind in a sea of wonder

Keep that heart of yours caged

Never let it wander

For all those who wander are lost

And those who looked up shattered

[intj-empath]

On the exterior you see a strong cool calm and composed woman. You'd never have guessed how creatively she's shielding the broken little girl that resides inside of her. She has swam through innumerable traumas that could drown anyone and left them gasping for air. But she has done it. She is surviving it, everyday. As harsh as it may get, she carries herself and smiles through pain... she is thriving and conquerring her battles. This shy little girl silently sits in the midst of her heart fully aware that the strong lady will guard her as she have always known the nurturer role so darn well.

Life Lens - Entry 143

Guarded Hearts Sometimes, I look back and think, “Maybe I shouldn’t have shared so much with certain people.” You know, those moments when I opened up, laid bare my thoughts and feelings, only to realize later that maybe they weren’t worthy of that level of intimacy. It’s like giving someone access to my inner world, my vulnerabilities, and then realizing they didn’t handle it with care or…

An undecided heart a restless soul indeed that I cannot trust as it is blunt like it used to be My eyes were tired but I cannot cry out loud nothing to notice but a sky full of dark clouds My soul keeps searching and sees everything my heart is longing but felt like nothing #dosageofreiss #guardedheart #rerouteyourlife #changeiscomingmyway (at The Beach - Jumeirah Beach Residence) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChB2nQkhomADVtXM75UtnvYR848RboIu1DFlFE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
