I am an over-thinker and can look at any given scenario I find myself in and, in a split second, have a choice of A to Z options. From how I grew up, it became ingrained to never let my guard down, even as a grown-ass adult, that never leaves you.
I was making a joke when I wrote my response to your post. It could have been taken either way by you, and I get why you said what you did, and it did make me laugh. I do thank you for that!
One of the things I learned at a very early age is to never judge a book by its cover. I still don't.
Letting one's guard down invites a hit in the face; I let mine down at times, and take hits most of those times...which is why I let it down less and less.
agree.
learned that lesson again just a few months back but it came from the internet and only hurt me so willing to live with that.
