I was really glad to take a camping trip with some girlfriends for a night and it was wonderful. As usual, God typically brings something to mind on a trip like this that could really use some work. Something just happens to me as i stare at a blazing hot fire.
As “open” of an individual as I pride myself on being I was hit with the reality of how guarded I am with others. I’m not always sure why i’m like this but I often only let people in to a certain point but stop them at my “julie wall”. I think some of this comes from having many friends and also certain instances in life where I was hurt and promised myself i would never let that happen to me again.
It’s crazy that instances from over 10 years ago can shape my “guardedness” to the way I am today. Does anyone else struggle with this?
feeling vulnerable.
