Yes, I live my life open, vulnerable and well, most of the time hopeful (there have been times when I’ve lost hope but they didn’t last long) ANYway, I don’t know how to live life any other way and I really can’t understand people who don’t take emotional risks (For example: don’t fall in love for fear of being hurt again). Not to say that I think bad of people like that, on the contrary I rather envy them. But as you stated above, living like this leads to great moments in life and also horrible ones. I guess that is the way to live your life though, right?

Who wants to be the one who protects her heart and soul so much that she never gets to know what’s really going on?

I mean the butterfly can’t live in his/her cocoon.
