Sometimes I just don't get it

[parthymon]

I've always known that it is impossible to let someone in without giving them the power to crush you, but does it have to happen every time? Can no one be trusted with the fragility of my emotions without having to crush them? Can they never be appreciated for what they are and not shattered the moment they are finally given?

This is mostly musings from a 13 hour shift of sleepyness, anxiety and too much coffee, but still, it's pretty true. Maybe I just need to take a nap.
