“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
—C. S. Lewis (via troubled)
Wag nating balewalain ang mga simpleng bagay na ginagawa sa atin ng mga taong importante satin. Hindi kasi natin alam kung kelan sila kukunin satin. Baka bukas, mawala na sya. Kaya habang may oras at panahon ka pa para pahalagahan ang mga simpleng bagay na ginagawa nya, gawin mo na. Kung may gusto kang sabihin at iparamdam sa kanya, gawin mo na rin. Kasi hindi mo alam ang maaaring mangyari sa mga susunod na araw.
“I’ve learned that some broken things stay broken, and I’ve learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones, as long as you have people who love you.”
—Jennifer Weiner (via eletheowl)
