Reminder: To love and be loved is to be vulnerable. It's totally worth it. Also, it can suck. Still worth the price of admission.
@wenx it's hard....I have to fight my need to build a crispy outer shell when I'm not feeling the feels. I also know that the sense of loss is an indicator of the value.... such a conundrum. You give your best when vulnerable. You are also stronger when vulnerable. <3

@Stace Also to be undefended is not the same as being defenseless.
@band truth.
@Stace YES.
I try to remind myself of that, because I know I’m not as open to it as I used to be.
