When we are deeply hurt, I think our instinct is to isolate ourselves emotionally, in an attempt to avoid similar hurt in the future. Sadly, this doesn't keep us safe from hurt, it just keeps up lonely. It's what makes us feel completely alone in a crowded room. We are not built for emotional solitude. Everyone has to be able to let someone in. The tricky thing is figuring out who is deserving of that level of trust. I think that everyone needs a person who has seen you at your worst and knows you at your best and loves you the same either way. This person for whom we open the door. ~JB
