Willing to love

 By Yvonne Santana

Somewhere along the way, vulnerability became

something people feared.

We celebrate detachment, praise emotional

distance, and call it strength.

But I've learned that there's nothing stronger than

a heart willing to love without guarantees.

Not every chapter becomes forever, but every

chapter leaves a mark.

I'd rather carry the memories of loving

wholeheartedly than the emptiness of never

letting anyone in.

I'll never regret having the courage to feel.

Yeah,

maybe I loved 

a little insane,

but at least I

had the courage

to lose myself in 

something I

truly wanted.
