Emotional
What if the safest heart is the most damaged one?
There's a way to make sure nobody ever breaks your heart. Don't love anyone. Don't even love a pet. Give your heart to no one. Wrap it up carefully in hobbies and small comforts. Lock it away.
To love at all is to be vulnerable.— Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal." - C.S. Lewis, *The Four Loves*
