I think I'm afraid to love someone, because I think they'll end up hurting me . And because I always think about what the bad things are about them. I really really really want to fall in love and open myself for other people. But everytime I close myself and I don't know how to change it.

Can anyone help me open myself up to love?

there's a quote that describes what i often feel:

There's a part of me that wants to let him in but then I feel myself put this wall up and I don't understand why. Maybe that's what strikes me most about Kostas: that despite everything he's suffered he can still look at life in the most uncomplicated way. I've never known that kind of faith. It makes me so sad that people like Kostas and Bridget who have lost everything can still be open to love... while I, who have lost nothing, am not.
