We dropped our hands, both embarrassed by the sincerity of the moment. But I was learning, Sometimes you had to put it all out there, no matter how hard it felt to do so. When the people in your life were worth it, so was the risk.

About This Quote

The most difficult part of this quote is the last sentence. It says that the risk is worth it when you’re worth it. It sounds like a definite statement, but that’s not what this quote intends to say at all. The quote is saying that we should be willing to put ourselves out there, even if we’re not sure how it will turn out or whether people will like us. In other words, we should be willing to risk our pride and perceived self-worth in order to find out if what we think of ourselves is true.
