Paulo CoelhoNever miss an opportunity to show your love, especially to those close to you, because we are always at our most cautious with them for fear of being hurt.
About This Quote
We are always at our most cautious with them for fear of being hurt. The ability to love deeply is something that very few of us have. We tend to be distant with people we care about because we are afraid that they will leave or disappoint us in some way. However, not showing your love can make you feel like nothing, like you are nothing. And when you feel like nothing, when you don’t feel like you are important, when you don’t feel like anything means anything to anyone, when you don’t feel like anything means anything to anyone at all, then that is when you will feel like the world is ending.
