Human connection…
Reminds me how fragile we are…
How we all need one another…
But the source of so much love and beauty…
Can also bring so much pain and heartbreak…
Connection is what we need…
But fear keeps us alone…
For so long I kept everyone in my life away…
But it made me a prisoner too…
Love requires courage…
And so often we convince ourselves that more and more walls will ensure safety…
But as the walls grow higher…
Our hearts grow darker…
Let love in…
Even when it has the capability of shattering you completely…
Even when it brings you to your knees…
Because a life without love…
Is not a life at all…
