About This Quote

The more you try to protect yourself from love, the more pain you bring to yourself and those that love you. Love is a beautiful thing, but it can also become very dangerous when we try to protect ourselves from it. When you place all your trust in someone else, the only protection you have is in their ability to accept you for who you are. Every part of your life can be threatened when someone doesn't accept your true self. The only way to protect yourself is by accepting yourself for who you are and trusting that they will accept you in return.

Love can be a wonderful thing if we allow it to be. The key is understanding that when we fall in love, it's okay if things don't turn out exactly as we planned. We must find ways to work through our problems in order to solve the biggest problems of all: our own minds.
