I think we've all been at that point where we've felt alone. Friends have betrayed us, significant others have broken us, and have left us utterly defeated. And in that moment of defeat, we make a decision to refuse to be vulnerable again and decide to isolate ourselves, putting a coat of armor on to protect ourselves from getting hurt again.

We put our guards up and go into a defensive mindset. We think of exactly what we want to say to the people who hurt us but are still too hurt to confront them.

When we meet new people, we never give them our full trust. Friends leaving you somehow became expected, so we're always looking for a reason to lose trust in someone.

After some time, we begin to feel the loneliness even more. We begin to feel the isolation and start to regret how defensive we've become.

But how are we supposed to let people in again?

It begins with that one person. One person who proves him or herself to be worthy of your trust. That one person helps you shed that armor. You begin to trust other people again. You realize that you can't be truly happy without being a little vulnerable.

Taylor Swift's new song "The Archer" put the exact feelings I have experienced into a song. It was hard for me to admit to myself, let alone other people, what I was going through during times like these. But Swift's new song let me know that I'm definitely not the only one who goes through this.

She flawlessly put the loss, and sometimes betrayal, of friendship into a song. Even though she's been writing for over a decade, her newest track still proves her to be the queen of songwriting. She hit this one on the bullseye.
