About This Quote

It is easy to be closed off from the rest of the world, especially if you have been hurt or have encountered difficult situations in life. It can be difficult to open yourself up to others and share your true feelings and emotions with them. If you are hurt, it can be hard to trust others, even people you love. The only way to find out who you really are is by being open to others and sharing your feelings with them.
