My heart is valuable. It connects me to who I truly am. All my dreams and wishes. What I want and what I don't want, What I love and what I hate.
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from What Is Love?, chapter 14
In other words
Giving someone your heart involves more than affection. It means letting them close to the wishes, passions and dislikes that shape your life. Those things are personal. When a relationship pulls you away from them, the loss can reach beyond missing another person. You may also miss the person you were before.
After that kind of hurt, recognising your own wants can feel like finding your way back. What brings you joy matters again. So does what you no longer want to accept. The heart is worth protecting because it holds a life that belongs to you, not only the love you might offer someone else.
