A tiny fear,

Although this fear is tiny, it basically dictates my life, my love life, right now. This fear, the fear of commitment and relationships. This might make me sound like a very bad person, but I've grown to be the person I am today because of all my past relationships and past flings that I thought could have been something but ended up being nothing but just time wasted and another broken heart to mend. 

I can go on and on raving about how I want to find someone to spend the rest of my life with, someone I want to be with and KNOW that they will be there, stay faithful, and never leave my side… but how I can say that when I'm the one shying away from it? How can I say that is something I want when I've been the one to fear it? How can I want something I fear? Take a risk? No, I can't because I can't shake the feeling that I'll end up hurt. And my mother/mentor/Suzy was right, my whole past of falling too easily for guys did shape me into this person who has trust issues. Don't get me wrong, I don't know if this feeling will stay forever, but it is the only feeling I am feeling right now. Resistance to fall for anyone just too hard, resistance to try to get past this fear. 

I am a broken girl, I am so broken compared to your average girl. With my track record, you can probably tell that I'm not suitable for a stable relationship anytime soon either. I'm just not emotionally available. It's not that I don't have time, it's not that I want to shy away from a relationship on purpose, but I feel like I'm still scarred from my past. I'm still trying to heal… and as sad as this all sounds right now, I really am just not emotionally available.
