How open-or closed-is your heart?
For new people, new experiences and so on.....
I'm about half and half. I've been hurt enough times that I do close my heart of a bit with protection, but I try to leave it open as much as possible to allow new entrants every now and again.
0Due to Holisticity™ my heart is completely open and I am fascinated to experience a range of different things each day!
I would say closed from childhood stuff--blah blah blah like everyone else. It has made me stick pretty close to my own family, but doesn't leave a lot of room for new affections.
That's a tough one. I'm working on it. My roommate says having children opens your heart. That isn't my life path so I'm trying a different route, full of adventure and generosity. Seems like a life goal to me anyway.
0My heart is temporarily closed for a new relationship, I've been hurt and fooled too many times to trust again. My heart is always open for new friendship though.
Completely open, it was not always so. I have pushed a lot of people away from me due to my fear. I now embrace vulnerability, and am ready to meet my twin flame.
My aorta is clogged by the corrupt minds and the so mean world that has no strangers. Every other person you meet will instantly evaluate your worth and either be friends with you or just move on.
Well, i guess if i go by the definition of open or close, i m close heart-ed, with a little openness for new experiences which excludes everything except the ocean.

Many people like to leave their bedroom doors open at night. In the event of a fire, this could prove deadly. By keeping the door closed you will buy some time from heat, fire and smoke. If your excuse is small children, purchase monitors and close the doors. Keep in mind, the smoke will kill you...

Do you leave your blinds open or closed at night?When the sun goes down, do you leave your blinds open at night? Personally, I choose to close them, as I live in a suburban neighborhood filled with teenagers doing who knows what. Does it depend on the area you live in, or perhaps is more to do with...
