“Though this list is not exhaustive, it offers a straightforward way for you to begin to put words to what lies below the surface of your life: • Attention—I long for people to like me. I long for your embrace. • Affection—I long to be enjoyed. I long to be delighted in. I long for you to take pleasure in who I am. • Affirmation—I long to know I have what it takes. I long for your blessing. • Acceptance—I long to belong. I long to be desired. • Satisfaction—I long for fullness. I long for well-being. • Significance—I long for impact. I long for meaning. I long to be powerful. • Security—I long to know I will be okay.”

“C. S. Lewis described every man’s struggle with vulnerability this way: To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to be sure of keeping your heart intact you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries, avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safely in the casket of your selfishness. And in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will not change, it will not be broken. It will become unbreakable, impenetrable and irredeemable. The only place outside of heaven where you can be perfectly safe from the dangers of love is hell.”
