I Have Issues...

Do you let people touch you? I don't mean physically. Do you let people emotionally affect you? I don't know, but it seems like the older I get the more jaded and distant I become. Have I just built up calluses? When a guitar player builds up calluses, they are almost like a badge of honor. As an accomplished guitarist those help you perform.

Emotional calluses on the other hand (no pun intended) do serve a purpose, but make me feel like I am missing out on so much. I think about myself, or the person I have become and it makes me sad and angry. When do you decide it's okay to let people in. I guess it's personal. Some people would argue that it's not as easy as just deciding one day to change. That might be true or it might just be bullshit. I don't know.

When I was much younger, I was more open, and less careful. It felt like living.
