“There is no form of bravery in this universe greater than the bravery it takes to love with no reservations. Like armor, our cautiousness prevents injury from entering the heart; but it also prevents love from escaping the heart. Sometimes we are lucky and our love shatters through that armor, like water smashing through floodgates that can no longer contain it. Other times, we must consciously choose to remove the armor of our cautiousness and strip ourselves naked in the face of love. ”
