Love is vulnerability - the antithesis of safety. It's a willingness to share the things I keep most heavily-guarded. It's a display of me trusting in someone enough to put my entire inner world on the line in order to give the ultimate gift I have in the world - my soul - to nourish and empower someone else. To share in the painful joy and joyful pain. That's risky as fuck - and it's how we grow and transmute the unfavourable circumstances of our lives and find meaning. And this piece touches on that in such a brilliantly grounded way. Thank you Lara.

Absolutely. I think loving is one of the most revolutionary acts we can do, and with that comes the risk of getting hurt, but it's always worth it. Thank you so much :)

it’s such a good representation of society. Being scared, not daring to take any risks. I love how you teach us about taking risks in such a loving and yet realistic way
