Come Here, Go Away

 Everyone you know sends one of those two messages constantly. The hard part is figuring out which message they want to send and why. 

Maybe they are just feeling empty so they need you to come closer. Maybe they feel inner pain, not necessarily from you but other people, so they say go away. 

Our past experiences can make us want others closer at times, but then we also prefer to isolate at times too. We don't want to get hurt again. We assume it's just a matter of time before that person hurts me too, so we say go away. 

Why would a person say come here? Because we need social interaction. We like to express and receive love. But other times we become guarded. We want to turn our feelings off and act like an emotionless robot to protect ourselves. If we decide we don't want to talk, then not talking doesn't matter. 

Once you decide who is safe, allow yourself to say come here. I hope you make a great decision on who is safe.
