The way you highlighted the emotional complexity of love, and the fear of vulnerability was so relatable. I really appreciated your honesty about your own experiences and insecurities. We should also think about how true growth often comes from being vulnerable and open. If we shield ourselves too much, we might miss out on amazing connections and experiences that love can bring. It's all about finding that sweet spot between self-protection and being open to love. Being vulnerable doesn't mean we're neglecting our self-worth; it means we trust ourselves to handle the ups and downs of relationships, knowing that even if we get hurt, we have the strength to heal and grow from it.

I totally agree. Thank you for sharing your insights! I’m slowly trying to put myself out there and not shield myself too much. As of now, self love it is! i think at this point, i need to have that space with myself. 😊

After my recent heartbreak I can definitely say I’m afraid to fall in love because I felt like I was the only one left to pick up the pieces of what me and the other person were and potentially could’ve been, but I guess that’s the beautiful vulnerability that can be found in love. As well as this, it’s about if we can work through these difficulties in our relationships with others or if we’re just incompatible (I was the latter with my person unfortunately) and both are equal chances of growth for each individual ❤️‍🩹

Well, i will not convince you otherwise, for now, you are committed to yourself, right? but even then you can't safeguard yourself from hurting, none of us can.. Love, such a beautiful feeling, same emotion for everyone, but its different when it comes to FEEL it, every romantic story has that same Love but how different is every story when it comes to its FEELING, i feel its okay to Love people wholeheartedly, they might not reciprocate, its fine, they may reciprocate but cant assure a future, its fine, every encounter with a stranger, every feelings we feel, every connection we make, everything was meant to be, so Fall in Love, Rise in Love, Get Hurt in Love, but Love....

you’re right! Love is definitely one of the beautiful feelings in the world! For now, I’m definitely taking the time for myself and that’s already love in itself— self love.
