An Important Gift
-----
"Whenever I see you, whenever you act, and whenever you talk… You always seem to be in high alert, even with your own friends. Despite having grown used to you, it always felt to me that you were… afraid of letting people know how you truly are, your emotions, and no matter how much I tried to soften you up, you always seemed unmovable, like a mountain. Although such assets make for a formidable person, it doesn't fit right to me that you're neglecting your own emotions and your own happiness in exchange for fearing to show who you truly are to others. Blake, at least to your beloved ones, and to your friends, be more open. Learn to trust people, an learn to… have hope. I am entrusting you my dear Elizabeth, I know that she likes you a lot, I hope you can take good care of her. I am trusting you, so please, trust others as well."
Seth finished talking, as I found myself being surrounded by everybody's else stares.
I suppose… he was right in this flaw I have.
