Lavinia

“I think we all wear armor. I think those who don't are fools, risking the pain of being wounded by the sharp edges of the world, over and over again. But if I've learned anything from these fools, it's that to be vulnerable is a strength most of us fear. It takes courage to let down your armor, to welcome people to see you as you are. Sometimes I feel the same with you: I can't risk having people behold me as I truly am. But there's also a small voice in the back of my mind, a voice that tells me,

"You'll miss so much by being so guarded.”
