A lock that keeps everyone out also keeps you in. Guard your heart without building a cell.

Protection and isolation are built from the same material, and it is easy to put up more than you meant to. Keeping everyone at a distance does stop you getting hurt, and it stops the other thing too, so you end up safe and alone and unsure how you got there. Caution that began as sense can quietly become the whole house.

Leave one door open this week. Tell one person something slightly truer than you normally would. You are not dismantling anything, just checking that the door still works from the inside.
