Past

Adrian, why do we share our past with people?!

Why do we share parts of ourselves that no longer exists in the realm of our present?!

Because, we want to matter.

We want to connect with them.

We want them to understand us,

Our flaws,

The faults in our circumstances.

Why do we want that?!

Because, we want them to last long.

Maybe, for a season.

Why so?!

Because, they were brave enough to reach out,

And, sensitive enough to see that we are hurting ourselves.

But, they won’t stay.

So, will you.

Atleast, they saw a part of you nobody else did!

They tried to understand you, your emotions.

What if they take advantage?!

That’s the real question!

See Adrian, Understanding can be lethal.

It can be weaponized.

Against you.

Only the ones who understands us, measures our deep wounds can give us bigger wound.

We are laid bare open to them,

They can see through us and throughout.

Why don’t you believe in people anymore?! – Cause, I don’t want anyone to exploit my reason. How’s that like?!
