Prompt 5 - Fear [Private] What is your greatest fear?
Honestly? My biggest fear is getting hurt. Not physically. Been there and done that with one, but emotionally. Yeah, I know been there and done that, too. It's why the wall is where it is and the masks I wear are so firmly entrenched. I mean get hurt after opening myself up again.
I know myself well enough to know it'll happen. I might be cynical, but there's always the little girl inside of me that is begging for her parents to just hold her hand. Or smiling at Jimmie, the first person to reach out to her at the school. I'm human. I want companionship and someone to love me, faults and all. But, I also am a great student of human nature and know I'll get screwed. And not in the good way.
It's why I stay behind my wall and only have friends with benefits relationships. No emotional risk to me.
