“Be the one who loves more deeply. Be the one who forgives more easily. You’ll understand, it’ll set you free. Don’t waste all of your energy keeping your heart locked up in your chest; what are you protecting it from? Love? Love is the kindest thing a human being has to offer. If you’re hurting, leave. If you choose to stay, give it all you’ve got. Regrets are the surest way to hurt yourself. Holding back because you’re scared is the surest path to regret.”
