***
I've always been a bit of a bitch — not in a bad way, but just enough that it's justifiable.
You see, for my entire life, I've had no one but myself to look out for me emotionally; not my family, that's for damn sure, and I have no friends.
So as a result, I have learned to adapt; I have mastered the art of self preservation by erecting wall upon wall around myself, entering a state of near numbness so that I feel next to nothing when I have experiences that would otherwise be extremely painful on an emotional level to others, and perfected the practice pushing people away when they become too close.
Never did I expect my magnificent fortress to come crumbing down, and my rein as the Ice Queen to come to an abrupt end.
