"I create my own prison - no one else puts these walls around me"- Michelle
We often don't notice the walls we build around ourselves until the construction is finished. We confuse these walls with security. Suddenly we realise that these walls have actually created isolation - how did that happen? and when? The illusion of security has in fact become a prison.
Our isolation is of our creation - only we can break the prison.
The main reason we do this is for protection - we are afraid of letting anyone in in case they leave us - and ironically we end up alone anyway due to our own wall building.

I just want to share this comment (I know that a lot of people don't take the time to read the comments on posts) - but I think this one is very important ... thanks Kay!
