To risk my heart is an unusual thing for me. I guess that's what's keeping me from finding someone. Whenever I meet someone and develop feelings for, I tend to automatically shut my feelings off just as fast as closing the door to my safety zone to protect myself from extrinsic factors that might cause me harm before my feelings flourish into something more because I'm afraid it might skyrocket and when it reaches to its highest level possible, it just falls rock bottom. I'm too afraid for that to happen.
But something I read slapped me hard in the face and made me realize that it doesn't work that way. Love is something that must be taken risk for, that must be opened the door for. As Katherine Applegate once wrote,

You can't have real love without real pain. You can't feel grief and loss and hurt without love. Love is the only way you can ever be really hurt, deep down. But it's also true that you can't ever really be happy without love, and you can't ever feel like you feel when you're with the one you love.
I was awaken from my deep slumber on my safe zone. I realized that to find true love, one must be willing to open his/herself and accept whatever outcome it may bring. If it ends up good the first try, you're lucky but if it doesn't, just like how most stories go, you have to try again but this time you know better and you are already one heartbreak smarter and nearer to finding the right one.
From now on let's take a chance on love and let's give love a chance no matter the risks because true love comes in an open door.
