So many of get hurt so many times that we mistake the callousness of scars with 'strength'. We think we need to protect ourselves and exposing our feelings and true self is a sign of weakness. The reality, in my opinion, is that true courage (and thereby strength) comes from putting yourself out there and being honest with you who are even if it you KNOW there is a good chance you could get hurt, even when you KNOW exactly how bad it can feel when things take a turn for the worse. I admire your courage in being honest & open not just with yourself but with those around you. Unfortunately, you are a rare breed my friend, and finding others like you can be a challenge.
