Damaged but Not Broken: Loving Her is Worth the Risk

Loving someone that has been hurt can be challenging, but trust me, it’s totally worth it.

1. Her guard is always  up… It should be no surprise that her walls are higher than the Empire State Building. 

She’s taken the hurt and pieces of her broken heart to build her walls so high that only those brave enough to climb will ever get in. She may seem standoffish at first but just remember she’s let her guard down before.

Look where that got her. She knows it’s not your fault, but she’s already broken and she won’t let you break her anymore.

2. She doesn’t need you… She doesn’t need anyone. 

She is a strong independent woman that doesn’t need a man, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want one. The heartache that she’s had to endure has allowed her to only need to rely on herself; she doesn’t know how to let anyone do for her. 

She’s had to do for herself for so long it’s just who she is. She will never need you but I promise you, she wants you.

3. She may or may not let you in… She’s a hard nut to crack. 

There’s not a single soul that knows everything there is to know about her. She won’t let anyone in because when she does, they always leave. 

Until you’ve proven to her that you won’t run, she’ll never fully let you in. She’s got too much to lose for it to be any other way.

4. She is an ice queen… Her heart is as hot as fire, but it’s encapsulated by a layer of ice. She’ll do anything for the people that she cares about, but fuck her over and she’ll ice you out quicker than you can say “Let it go???. 

She’s the type of girl that will bring you brownies when you’ve had a bad day or will bring you lunch across town because she wants to see you happy. But I promise you if you do anything to screw her over, she’ll cut you off without hesitation. 

She’s been hurt too many times to waste her kindness on people that are not worthy of her love.

5. She will be your greatest love… If you are able to scale her walls to show her you want her as much as she wants you and that you’re not going anywhere nor will you ever screw her over I promise you she will be the greatest love you’ve ever experienced. 

She knows what it’s like to feel alone and to be broken almost beyond repair and she will never let you feel that way. 

She’ll love you like you’ve never been loved. The thing is, despite all that pain and damaged she is still capable of love, and she is still willing to love. That is what makes her so remarkable. 

She is a phoenix, out of the ashes she has arisen and she will love you with everything she has in her.
