Of course there’s a risk that that could happen, but what is the alternative? To never allow myself to get close to anyone ever again? Never know the joy of loving someone for fear that it could end up in tears? My heart might stay safe, but it wouldn’t be much of a life. Chantelle Shaw
About This Quote

If I never allow myself to get close to anyone ever again, then I will never experience love. Fear of love can be so damaging because it prevents people from seeking out relationship. It only takes one person to let their guard down and be vulnerable. If I never allow myself to get close to anyone ever again, then my heart will stay safe but I will not have a very happy life.
