You'll never cross an emotional bridge, if you keep rushing back to the other side.

T.F. Hodge
About This Quote

The idea of crossing over an emotional bridge is to allow yourself to be vulnerable and open enough to let others in. Emotional bridges are scary, but they can also be life changing. It’s scary because it means giving up how you’ve always been, but it’s life changing because it allows you to see the world with new eyes.
