I believe that strong people were not afraid enough to fall again. I mean, yes, it had ruined your heart and shattered it into pieces. But then, still, isn't it worth it? Falling in love is one of the best feelings you'd ever have in your entire life, and being afraid on it means being afraid to be happy again. Pain and suffering is guaranteed, but what are those compared to the priceless moments you'd cherish your whole life for?
It's the magic of positive thinking. If you'd focus on the negatives and on what you'll lose which make you hold back, you're not actually preventing and shielding yourself from pain. You're blocking the happiness that might come your way.
So for you whose in love now, don't be afraid. No matter what it takes, choose to be happy... to be really happy. Well, it isn't real happiness if you're doing it the wrong way. Real happiness is following what your heart wants, no matter how much people mock you for your own choices, as long as you are on the right path. When love comes, grab it. If you love each other, go for it.
Never be afraid to fall in love. It may be painful, but remember, on the process of falling, you were high, and you get the best feeling you can't explain. When you reach the ground, you'd be in pain if you're on the wrong track. But don't lose hope. The pain will be gone soon, and when it does fade away, you could try again. But let the pain heal first before you go for another one. Then one day you'd know that you're in the right way, in the right time and the right reason, because you already fell on the arms of someone who would catch you. :)
