Im an introvert. I protect my heart/emotions/feelings and dont always share them with people. Whatever is easily broken must be dealt with accordingly and only given freely to those who have been proven, worthy recipients. I protect my personal space because I dont want to risk letting someone in who would take advantage of my vulnerability. I revel is security. Once I know I will be safe with you, I let you in. I let you examine me. I let you see my pain, I let you hear my many thoughts (as silly and meaningless or as meaningful as they might be), I let you see my brokenness, my shame, I let you in on my dreams and aspirations ... Because I trust you. Because I know you love me no matter the insecurity you see. Because I know you can read me, and can grow to understand me before I even open up my mouth. Im an introvert, because I protect what is easily broken. I protect what can be manipulated when put in the wrong hands. I protect what will someday be used to freely love a home full of people that will need it most. I protect what is cherished by a King who sits high and looks low. I protect what is valued by those who call me daughter, sister and friend. I protect what will be most valued by him who will call me wife, and those who will call me mother. I protect what God is carefully cultivating for the use of the person(s) who knows what to do with what I am able to give to them. Please, dont be offended if I seem emotionally unavailable, aloof or stand-offish, I am an introvert... I may not share everything, but there is a real person with real thoughts and emotions beneath the shell of my constant protection, waiting for the keys in your heart to try the locked doors in mine. ~LSM~ Inspired by a conversation with Joshua DeSousa
