My heart

I allow so many people to come into my 'bubble' and by doing this I allow them to hurt me very easily. Recently I was the subject of a facebook post that literally said to 'f*** off' this was not posted by my very good friend but it was under his name. This just broke my heart because he means a lot to me and I would never say anything bad about him behind his back but evidentally he complains about me all the time to his friends. And this isn't just a one time thing. It happens even within my family. I let my family have an impact over my life and when they ignore me or criticize me it really hurts because all I want is to have people around me to be happy. I have learned how to be happy but it's hard when others don't approve of who you are or what you're doing. I need to learn how to protect my heart from more pain which I have never been good at. Especially when someone means so much to you and you would never do anything to hurt them it's hard to still keep your heart protected and put your own mental stability first.
