There are times when I feel like my heart is literally going to explode out of my chest. There are times when something is so beautiful it hurts to breathe because I imagine that the tiniest change in the air would destroy everything. This feeling is from shedding pieces of myself - every person, every place, every experience. Some people get bigger parts of me, some get small ones...some return them back to owner. Living without a full heart hurts, yet I'm sure it hurts less than living a life never giving your heart to other people...other places...other experiences.

I can't imagine a life like that.
