EMOTIONS ON MY SLEEVE
I am the type of person that wears my emotions on my sleeve. I am an open book, very transparent. This is me like it or not.
My girlfriend and I were talking about the openness today. She feels that if I am an open book with everybody I am setting myself up. My girlfriend fears that my openness and kindness makes me vulnerable to people taking advantage of me. For me I don’t feel this way because I do have boundaries and am aware of people that would take advantage of me.
I am going to live my life with my heart on my sleeve, open and honest. I will continue to do this allowing others in. I choose to do this as I lived far to many years afraid, alone and covering up my emotions.
LIVING IN HEALTH 
I think what you mentioned about boundaries is key. I don’t think it’s openness that invites hurt, it’s lack of boundaries.
