I fiercely protect this invisible wall in my house.
Walls are meant to divide and protect; this one unifies me with the purpose of my existence.
Gilt-edged dreams hang on nails made of clouds and bits of sky.
Frames shape-shift to accommodate my versatility.
I protect it to keep judgmental minds, unsolicited advisors and critics at bay.
This wall will always be a secret, because I’ve never found any one who understands the core of me.

Oh wow, a lovely wall–I so understand Reena, none have understood me at the core, either. I say, too bad for them, they’re missing something wonderful.

But do we want walls or boundaries? Walls just separate, boundaries protect with honor instead of walling us off from relationships.

I’ll grant you this one 🤗 We need boundaries.

Brilliant! Your last line speaks volumes, Reena.
Our walls should serve our purpose – to keep stuff out and to keep stuff in.

Brilliant take, Reena.
‘This wall will always be a secret, because I’ve never found any one who understands the core of me.’
Can one ever find that someone?

there is a very real need, imo, for privacy to a certain extent. especially in this incredible place, the virtual world (and our own territory, the blogsphere).
