A lot of people describe me as "aloof," "stand-offish," "cold," and perhaps a whole lot more that falls in the same category. Those are the people who do not know me. I have a tough exterior, a little rough even, which I am willing to admit sometimes adds to my appeal. And, it is always difficult to explain to someone the reason for my being so. Yet, how do I explain that the many years having walked through this world alone has taught me that I cannot do it alone but that I do not have the skills within me to reach out to you. And that I am waiting for you to reach out to me, make me feel safe and allow me to open myself - to show you what depths lay within me (of thought, of emotion, of humor). If only I knew what it is I have to say or do to show you how to connect to me - I would gladly be vulnerable. Because, well I know, I cannot make it on my own.
