I just had to share… This quote cuts to the core of love and vulnerability.
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Interesting quote… I prefer being vulnerable to being locked-up and having a coffin inside … 🙂

I agree 100%… vulnerable may be scary at times, but I fear becoming hard and closed off more… 🙂
