Barriers & Bandages.
We are all emotional beings, creatures trapped inside cages of our own feelings. Perhaps to really break free of all constraints would be to rid of one's emotional responses to the world around. But what would be left of one's person, if that is what happens...?
Lies, betrayal, harm is done in measures to protect the self most of the time. It is just as easy to hurt and hate as it is to love. It is harder to forget than to remember sometimes.
Memories are ghosts of others in our past that still haunt us in the present. Creating tiny webs of emotional residue tied to specific places, things, people, and sounds that catch us breathless in moments and make it impossible to escape.
It is an invisible barrier, a boundary-less wall, bandages made up of laughters and tears, and it is forever present in the footprints of our lives.
We are all living maps of one another's physical history and future.
