Thought Diary

There's an attribute for which I am known for. One for which strangers are prone to comment on when we first meet or notice when I leave my seat. At 5'11, I stand taller than most and it seems as if I cannot walk into a room without comments about how far my head resides above the ground. I've grown accustomed to the gazes and while some may shun me, most are amazed by my stature. But as usual I stride like a model whilst minding my own business or just pretend they're fans coming to gawk. Most times I can't help but appreciate the attention to detail in noticing my stature. Nothing pleases me more than hear someone say  "wow you're tall!". I'm glad that I enrapture so many people's attention. But even better, hearing the vertically challenged beseech me to reach out things for them. I help them out happily because tall is something that I'll always be. What most people don't know is that some things you'll never get to see

It is said that the heart is the center of your soul where you keep all your feelings, goals and even dreams. The heart has a way...more like a door that lets these feelings come out so that people can enter and see what you're about. As a child, we're open, pure and innocent and most of the time we have no real problems to deal with or pain to endure. Well, if there are, they're mostly about things that we have no control over. With maturity, comes confusion on which path to take. We pray that there are no hard decisions to make or disappointments. But with every disappointment, the heartache begins and you start building a door. Each new pain becomes a nail and every scar becomes a board. With the door fully built, you have an easy way out when in doubt or feeling confused. Behind that door, locked in the dark, you may feel safe and secure for a while but then no love can get in and you begin to feel sad and unsure. The road on through life may be rocky, sharp, rough
