softhearted no more

i am sad to announce that my soft unguarded heart has been broken again.

resolution: i must build a battlement to protect it.

so say goodbye to the all-loving, trusting, forgive-and-forgetting, i-love-you-forever-no-matter-what person you know me to be.

enter steel. no longer will i freely give love. i will demand profits. i will work you to the core.

i have often said that the world is too harsh a place for my soft heart. but now i realize that the opposite is true. my unconditional, steadfast love is too sweet for this world. now i'm reserving it only for myself.
