Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
And so, it’s a good thing most people bleed on the inside or this would be a gory, blood smeared earth. Because I think it’s true, it fits most people. We are all in pain at points in our life, some are even in constant pain but imagine if we showed that pain on the outside and bled with each little pain we felt. We’d all be wrecks. I do think people would have more compassion for others if they got to see the pain and hurt each person is going through inside. But it’d still be a hell of a mess.
