The urge to suddenly protect Brandon out of nowhere came to me the moment I became aware of his pain. Suddenly, I wanted to be the person who can tear down the walls he created because of the past that he had. Out of nowhere, I just found myself wanting him to be the person who doesn’t have to back down because he finds himself hesitating to do things beyond his wall. I wanted to be all of that. However, doing all of that has a risk. In the end, in order to bring down his walls, I might need to sacrifice my own feelings. In order to bring down his walls, I might need to be more honest than usual to the people who have hurted him so I could confront them without any problem. I need to be strong and become his pillar in times when he feels like he is losing his will to tear down that wall.
