Rachel Cohn Quote

So what do you have to confess now?I don't know why I'm saying any of this, except that it's the truth. I'm confessing that I don't know if I'm ready for this.What is 'this'?Being open. Being hurt. Liking. Not being liked. Seeing the flicker on. Seeing the flicker off. Leaping. Falling. Crashing.
