Love courageously?

Post watching the baby sister get hitched, my mind is filled with thoughts of why the best of people are so afraid to love. 

What is it that makes them want to protect themselves so forcefully? Why build walls so high that even their vision is marred?

And yet, today I've chosen that I will now set boundaries.
Boundaries, and obstacles in between... perhaps because that fear of breaking a heart with memory of a wound may hurt so much more - or worse, not survive another stroke. 

And yet, what is a heart without love?
Mine needs an outlet, a distraction...

I need to get that cat.
