Happiness Quote by SAM (THE BEST
“Have you ever been in love? horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable, it opens your chest, it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. you build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you. Then, one stupid person, wonders into your stupid life.You give them a piece of you, they don't ask for it. They do something dumb someday, like kiss you or smile at you and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostage. it gets inside of you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like maybe we should just be friends or how very perceptive turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts, not just in the imagination, not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body- hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and- rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
