Foolish.

I'm usually a pretty guarded person. I like being that way. I like being in control of my emotions and feelings.

But every once in a while, I let my guard down. I see something in someone that makes me go for it. And I'm usually burned.

This last particular time, I was made to be a fool and that probably hurts the most. I was such a bad judge of character this time and all swept up in the idea that someone can change. Or that maybe the timing was right this time.

So foolish.

But life goes on and it's somewhat comforting to know that I can let myself go and feel. Maybe I'm not as jaded and cynical as I think.
