Have a heart

I like being a lone...its called being an introvert. When I have spent lots of time being around other people I like to retreat and just be by myself. Thoughts are constantly in my head because of this too. People in the past have said I over think things. But I think some people just don't think enough.
I am a sensitive person, which is why some people say I shouldn't do the things in life that I want to do including trying to get into the coast guard. But I think that is exactly why I should be doing what I want to do in life. We are okay with people being desensitized, but the ones who have emotions...those are the ones people think there is something wrong with. Well what if the ones who showed their emotions were the ones who were normal? I wear my heart on my sleeve, and have been hurt, cut down, told I was too sensitive because I couldn't seem to hide my emotions. Sure it has left me vulnerable, and it has burned me before. But that in my head is no reason to stop being who I am. Those people have tried to stifle me yet they did not win, they could not break me.
I have had horrible stories in my life and I know that I am not the only one who has tragedy in their lives. But it doesn't matter because I am a stronger person because of it......some think my emotions make me weak, but I think they show that I am human and capable of love. In this world where there seems to be so many who lack love or have a clear understanding, I know what love is.

Love is a girlfriend who even though there is distance between her and her man remains faithful,
Love is a man who puts his life at risk for his country and the loved ones back at home understanding that it is his duty.
Love is a country coming together because of tragedy even if the tragedy did not happen to their own country.
Love is showing respect even when you do not feel like it at times.
Love is never forgetting to say kind words, when sometimes its easier to say the mean ones.
Love is being there for a friend even though you feel like crying yourself.
Love is doing those things you don't enjoy because you know your significant other does enjoy it.
Love is trusting that man with your heart, even though many have tried to tear it apart before.
Love is not fearing the future and enjoying the time right here, right now, and trusting that God will let there be more moments together.
Love is putting others before you.

Yes I have a heart, and am not ashamed of that. People who claim to feel nothing have built up a wall and I think its time to break down the walls.
