when you reach out...you leave too many vulnerable parts of the body exposed. Also it has a tendancy to leave the body a bit unbalanced...seldom will you find somebody who will help to keep you from falling. Then when you have fallen and they trip over the body...it will be your fault for causing them discomfort.

one must be cautious.

Thinking of being at the top of a ladder. Painting perhaps. Reaching just a bit farther to hit that last spot. A person at the bottom of the ladder...holding it. Really when the ladder goes what good are they? Ten people could not prevent the fall...even if they wanted to.

I hear YOU - - - ((((((( hugs ))))))) ~ ~ ((((((( hugs )))))))

I have been there many times over..... then I finally found that one person that would catch me every time I fell, but some times I still have to YELL - - - HEY!!! - HELP "ME" OVER HERE..... I am FALLING AGAIN.

Well...maybe when falling...for just a second...a person can know what it's like to fly.

[Rhapsody]

TRUE..... but please be careful not to fly without a working parachute.

A parachute only delays the inevitable. Fall enough times and it too will fail.

Take care.

I understand completely and feel the same way entirely. Sometimes I just want to give up.

Yep, I feel this way alot, Place. I do have someone in my life who holds me up, and when I am down, lifts me right back up again. Still, I know the feeling of being vulnerable. I have put my feelings out there too many times and been met with hurt and disappointment. It doesn't pay to open up too much. Since being back here, I even have a hard time posting any of my personal issues. I wrote a post in relationships about a friend, but I deleted it a few minutes later. I hate feeling vulnerable.

I understand that feeling too.... for I just recently deleted all my personal PICS from the photo section after I started feeling unsafe after opening myself up.... for the HAMMER hit me - dead center, Bulls Eye!

They trip over the fallen because they did not reach out and steady you.

They blame the fallen so they don't have to look at their clumsy mistake.

People will fall.

Others can't prevent it.

But you dear place, deserve friends that will hold your hand through the pain, help you stand back up when you're steady and wait with you while you heal.

However long it takes.

Here's my hand...

(((((Place)))))

I do not post or reply in this forum often but for YOU, I will.

One day someone will really catch you when you will be falling and you will be surprised that this person was even there, for you have been disappointed so many time before.

To be cautious is wise. To keep looking for this person who will always catch you when you fall is "hope".

Just thinking again...that is what it is...it is change that is causing all these issues. It's the snowball effect. Something happens and before we can adapt to that something else happens and changes keep happening. Until we are hurtling down the mountain out of control.

Not all the changes are bad. Some have been good in fact...but they are all unsettling in that they disrupt the routine and we are all about rules and routine. Years of hard work.

Feels like im reading a page out of my own life. Every so often I get a shock on this forum ( a good one ) that says " My goodness, I am not alone after all!"

I am here for you dear place.
