it’s not about who likes you, it’s about who is brave enough to pursue you

Sometimes, it gets overwhelming when you don’t get what you yearn for. Is it because the walls you’ve built are too thick? Or are you just too picky? Or perhaps, in the worst case scenario, you’re simply a bridge for others to meet, but never someone to be pursued?

We all build walls around our hearts, some higher and thicker than others. These walls aren’t necessarily meant to push people away but often, they serve as a shield against the uncertainty. We put them up to protect ourselves from getting hurt when we believe in something that could break our hearts.

It’s easy for someone to write long, heartfelt confessions, but without actions, those words are meaningless. They’re empty unless there’s a willingness to climb the walls you’ve built over the years, even when the possibility is slim. It’s about someone who sees you for who you are behind those walls and doesn’t back away when things get tough. It’s about the effort they make, the commitment to keep trying until they can’t anymore.

When someone is brave enough to pursue you, consistently making an effort to be in your life, they’re the ones who will stay up late to listen to your worries, remember the little things that make you smile, and offer you the last piece of everything. They’ll show you how you deserve to be loved, without making you question it. They’ll love you loudly and clearly and stand by you even when the world seems to turn its back. Despite the walls you’ve built, they’ll gently and patiently knock, waiting for the moment when you feel safe enough to let them in.

In the end, the walls we build are not just to shield but they are also invitations for those who care deeply enough to find a way in. They are there to protect, but they are also there to be lowered for those who truly understand and care.
