Not sure how to title this..

Okay so I'm new at this. My bestie was telling me about blogging and it seemed a good way to either let off some steam or to talk about anything else i wanted to. I'm at a point in my life where i have no idea what i want.  I want to settle down but i love the idea of having fun.. I think what I am most afraid of is getting hurt. I have tried letting people in but it seems to always come back and bite me in the ass and I'm the one left in the dust with yet another broken heart.. I'm one to always give out advice to help people (which i don't mind at all), but when is it my turn? when do i get the advice? I'm just almost at the point where I am ready to give up..
