I wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm not ashamed. I've been told that I shouldn't, because apparently that makes me vulnerable, but I don't see a problem. I don't see an issue in making it known to people that I'm unafraid to love, and to love deeply.

The idea of giving your heart away so easily is terrifying. When I tell people I wear my heart on my sleeve, I think they assume I'm being stupid. I think in their minds, it just means I'm willing to give anyone a chance at holding my heart in their hands. That's not the case.

I do wear my heart on my sleeve, but the stitching is strong. I don't give myself, my love, or my trust away easily.

It's strange, because in doing so I'm weak and strong all at once. I fiercely encourage everyone to do the same.
