Sixth Sense

I have a sixth sense. I believe everyone does to be honest. My sixth sense is my ability to read people and to read situations. I think everyone has this ability, I just think it gets more finely developed in people that have been through traumatic experiences. The experiences can vary, vastly vary, but I think people can tap into this ability and once they do, learn to trust it. Most people never have to tap into it and even if they do, an even greater portion probably never fully trust it. I rely heavily on my sixth sense and I trust it implicitly. Am I always right, no, but I am very, very rarely wrong, and this has become my shield. A very, very important shield that is my number one form of protection.

Contradictions

Friends always have your best interest at heart. That being said, sometimes their best intentions can seem like they are contradicting one another. I am forever being told that I don’t put myself out there, that I don’t give people chances, and that I don’t open up enough. Yet when I do put myself out there, when I do open up, and when I do decide I want something, if it doesn’t fit the deemed appropriate timeline I am then told to move on, that I deserve something better, and that I wait around for too long in situations that aren’t good for me.

Whenever I feel threatened, scared, alone, insecure, or frankly not sure what I’m feeling my first reaction is to retreat. To curl up into a ball and protect myself. I am reminded of the bug’s I loved as a kid. Rollie Pollies, I thought they were so cool. You picked one up, and immediately they went from horizontal, bug-like, to a perfectly round circle. This amazing armor like shell that protected them from the world around them. It was only after some unspecified amount of time if you were patient enough that they would uncurl and then crawl around on your hand.

It is often said that offense is the best defense and while I agree with that some of the time, sometimes I think defense is the best defense. One of my best defenses has always been hiding in plain sight. If no one can see me, if no one has any idea that anything is wrong, if no one has any idea that I have a secret then they won’t go searching for it… right?

Valentines Day is always an interesting day because we are either supposed to be happy or sad depending on whether we are in a relationship or not.  As someone who has never been in a relationship on Valentine’s day, it generally doesn’t bother me, but I’d be lying if I said I was completely immune to it.
