About This Quote

When you were young, and your heart was an open book. You used to say, live and let live. When you're young, it's easy to be a doormat. It's easy to let people walk all over you.

It's easy to keep your mouth shut, or keep your thoughts to yourself, or keep your secret past a certain point. But when you get older, the book of your heart closes. More and more things from the past come out.

And you can't say anymore what doesn't matter anymore. And you have to learn how to ask for what you need instead of giving in and taking whatever is at hand. You have to learn how to let some things go that don't matter anymore, while holding on tight to the things that do.
