Where you Wear your Heart

Emotions seem to run high in life, at times it seems that the people who are closest to you are not what they seem to be. What does it mean exactly to wear your heart on your sleeve? Why would that be a bad thing, and how would that hinder your attempts in life, career, education, etc. People are who they are shaped into based on their experiences, losses, loves, lessons, and life. You are supposed to remember the compliments and forget the insults, however, this is something I have not yet mastered. Trying to be happy, and living in a world to make myself happy, is hard enough. Having to show my heart is never easy, and at a point when someone tells you that you wear your heart on your sleeve and that is why you will get no where, well where do you go with that? Being alone is hard enough, and the damage has already been done. So you breath, you get up, you try to smile, cry in silence, and put your heart away, where it belongs. There are people in life who do not understand the art of friendship, trust, and proper communication. For those on the receiving end of a person such as that, well - put away your self and your heart.
