FENCES

BUILDING WALLS

Have you watched the movie FENCES?
If not, you should

One thing I picked from the movie is that “some people build fences to keep people out, while others build them to keep people in”

Fences are built to hide your real self, your fears and whatever you are going through that you feel nobody may understand, and if they do, it may change how they look at you.

Sometimes fences and limits/boundaries are much the same thing.

Fences make us feel we are far away from vulnerability and worry. They create a safe place.

We withdraw within with the false sense of security these fences give us, never opening up, never talking about YOU, because you just want to fit in and not draw attention.
Your heart is loud but you keep it quiet
The way you look on the outside doesn’t match how you feel on the inside
You can’t remember the last time your smile was honest
You try to sweep it under the rug of loud laughs

Could be you feel or were told you are too much and you feel you should chop and crop yourself to fit their galaxies

When you meet people who love you too much you leave coz you don’t feel good enough, not worthy of being loved and cared for, because you’d rather be the one to walk away, you’d rather be the one to say goodbye before they have to hear it


As unattractive as you sometimes feel, as unaccomplished as you think you are and as much as you believe you must hide all the parts of you that are broken , out of fear that that you’re  less than perfect is like to believe  that sunlight is incapable of penetrating  a broken window and illuminating a dark room

Deal with it and let it go

At times the walls feel overwhelming and you feel it’s time to break them down and dance through life with all that you are.

 You are not going to crack yourself open so easily. It’s going to take time

One day you’re going to see how those same walls helped you define yourself,
One of those mistakes will lead you into a book, a job you love, to your “the one”- love, lead you to yourself. Introduce you to the most flawed parts of who you are and you’re going to face them-you will and you will flourish

You will feel like yourself for the first time and you will finally be free
