We’re often told that love comes when we least expect it, but the truth is, love comes when we are completely open. As humans, we crave more than anything to be fully known and loved for who we are, but if we conceal the imperfect parts of ourselves or keep our guard up for fear of getting hurt, we can never be wholly understood by the people in our lives. True emotional vulnerability is one of the most difficult things to achieve in life, but if we’re willing to take the risk, we’re rewarded with love, community, and the joy of finding kindred spirits in the world.

Armenian American writer William Saroyan penned these words in his breakthrough article “The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze,” published in 1934. The quote above is part of a longer, rousing piece of advice that reads like a rallying cry to live life to its fullest: “Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste the food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive.”
