In medieval times, moats were created around the proximity of a castle to keep attackers away. Sometimes they were just deep trenches; sometimes they were filled with water. You may have created an emotional moat around some area of your life to keep hurt at bay, Leo. You are not admitting to something that you really need to express. It may be true that no one from outside can get in and deepen the hurt, but none of that pent-up negative energy can get out either. Open the drawbridge and express what you're feeling. It may not be so bad after all. cr. http://comitic.com/dh -- 字彙 *medieval: 中世紀 *moat: 護城河 *proximity: 鄰近 *trench: 壕溝 *hold/keep sb/sth at bay: 阻止 *pent-up: （感情）被壓抑的 -- 在中世紀的時候，護城河建立在城堡的周圍抵禦入侵者。 有時候，所謂的護城河只是將很深的壕溝注入水。 你可能已經生活周圍建立情感上的護城河，避免自己受到傷害。 你掩蓋自己真實的情感。 確實沒有人能闖入對你造成傷害，但被壓抑的負能量同時也沒辦法出去。 放下吊橋，真實表達你的感覺。可能終究不是件壞事。 -- 摘要：別為保護自己不受到別人傷害，自己卻傷害自己。 -- 今天生日的大貓，生日快樂。:) 有時候面具戴久了，脫下面具別人反而會怕。 每個人都只想要接觸自己想接觸的樣貌啊～終究只好繼續戴上面具。 「永遠在別人的戲裡，流下自己的淚。」──《戲子》 --
