Abbi Glines Quotes

Remember when i slept with my head in a puddle at your feet? It was humility, or atonement. later your ankle was a pillow and finally you pulled me up and in my sleep i placed your hand above my heart, like i forgot i didn't live there anymore

In life, when stuff happens the instinct is to close off your heart. By leaving your heart open, it leaves room for someone else to come in.

When it comes to accepting emotional support or affection, I'm a little guarded and hardened to that.

I've never been afraid to fall in love, nor impatient to find it.

I don't fear commitment and people in my world getting too close.

It's so much easier to like people, and to let people in, to trust them until they prove that you should do otherwise. The alternative is being an iceberg.

When I can really open myself up to someone and show someone who I really am, it's amazing when it happens.

Trust, love, what we call sexy, who we trust in a business situation, are all based on how open we are.

True intimacy, the exchange of affection between two people who are not lying, is transforming.

I believe love opens people up.

Remember to let her into your heart.

We don't take the time to be vulnerable with each other

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being, but it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

Because that's what intimacy is: It's a willingness to be vulnerable, a willingness to bite my tongue and a willingness to set an example of what I believe in.

I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.

Fear is the great enemy of intimacy. Fear makes us run away from each other or cling to each other but does not create true intimacy.

There's not as many people as one would think you can be completely open with.

To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it.

If fear is the great enemy of intimacy, love is its true friend.

In a relationship you have to open yourself up.

You show your vulnerability through relationships, and those feelings are your soft spot. You need to have a soft spot.

Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce.

That's one of the great lies of intimacy, to pretend you know everything - you cannot. No matter how close you've been, over however many years, there remain secrets. I think we all know that - that you don't tell everybody everything.
