torn

giving people the benefit of the doubt. is that a good or bad thing? i know it's not right to hold past transgressions against someone new, but it's hard when you find someone new and they turn out to be just like who you walked away from. so i figured i would shut out love all together after Mr but of course i meet someone who is cooler than the other side of the pillow. so do i stick to my guns and keep this wall around my heart or do i let this person in? for now i'm gonna stick with the wall until i have more homework done regarding this individual. for the record, he's softening me up. that's always a good thing, or is it?
