Brilliantly written @godflesh. These walls we keep building around us, should never be unbreakable. We create walls to escape from our fears, out of guilt, out of denial, but we seldom realize that they also stop the happiness and the good from entering the doors to ourselves. We create these mental barriers when we're to afraid to face reality, when we'd rather shut ourselves off in a comfortable place. Nothing good comes out of that comfort zone. Introspection is key here. Every wall has an expiry date. We shouldn't just close ourselves off permanently. There's a lot of good out there. Open door policy is the best. And that can only be attained when you become totally responsible for your own self and your happiness. That power should never rest in another soul, or another place. Happiness and contentment, always comes from within. We build walls when we subconsciously allow or depend on others to make us feel these in the first place. Upvoted!
