Help From The Distant Past

Oh, I could go on with the quotes, there have just been so many amazing people in this world who leave us their words. These words are so kind. Sometimes when I need a bit of kindness or help pointed my way, I turn to the words of the past, from those of the past. Yes, yes, who I have with me now should be the ones I take help from. However, I am just so personal and don't want to explain my emotions to those around me. If they knew, I would just hate if they could read my heart. It is too vulnerable! I just feel my heart "jump". Only a few times have I had my heart read by people, but the feeling is just too strong for me to handle. When someone can read what's exactly in your heart-- they know you. I have spent so much of my life misunderstood, even today I am too shy and sensitive to such a matter occurring. 

 

So, I try to just live out my life and handle my own problems for the most part. Although, I have turned to people personally for help before-- I prefer to not do it often. 

 

I enjoy finding help in the words left behind by those before us. It really warms my heart to know that others go through the same trial and error, pain, emotions, thoughts, and life situations. 

 

Thank you so much to those of the past who have left their words to help! :)
