so here's another thing I know

when you open yourself up to love someone
you are also opening yourself up to be hurt
you are offering your power to those you care for
whether it's a marital relationship
a sexual relationship
a illicit relationship
a friendship
or just an
acquaintance

when you open yourself up
with love in your heart
you are risking being hurt

the key is to learn
from the hurt
and to never stop being open

the key is to
never stop loving
