One can not love without opening oneself, and opening oneself, that’s taking the risk of suffering. One does not have control.
Meaning of the quote
To love someone, you need to let them in and allow them to see the real you. But when you open up, you also risk getting hurt. That's because when you love someone, you can't fully control what happens. You have to be willing to take that chance.
