Protected
I learned a long time ago not to let people in, not to trust and not to have any expectations. Even the lowest of expectations are often not met. This way, I am armored, invincible. And, while I still take some blows, their arrows can do me no damage.
Keep in mind that barriers that are meant to keep out bad experiences, can lock out good experiences as well. Guarded,yes, but at the same time open to possibilities. Replace weighty expectations with appreciation for the good things you find on the way.

Armor is good, but incomplete without weapons and a horse. Also an army of other knights might help.
The armor is just keeping some of the pain away.
