"It's like once you get hurt, you build up these walls around you that you think will keep you from getting hurt again. You won't let anyone get past them. You pass up good people and good opportunities because you're reminded of what has happened in the past. But you're not the only one you're hurting. You're hurting others because they don't understand why they cannot be a part of your life. Just remember, that one day you're going to have to gain the strength to let these walls down if you ever want to be happy again."
