and while we're talking about love,

let me share this lovely quotation i found by c.s. lewis.

"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. wrap it carefully, sound with hobbies and little luxuries, avoid all entanglements. lock it up safe in the basket or coffin of your selfishness, but in that basket - safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. it will not be broken, it will become unbreakable. impenetrable, irredeemable.
to love is to be vulnerable."

i know it kind of sounds twisted and weird, but think about it and i think you'll find deeper and significant meaning in this quotation.
i know i do.
