“To give love is to know to lose.”
— Fernando Pessoa

Simplified Meaning:
When you care about someone deeply, you risk getting hurt. Loving someone means opening yourself up, and when you do that, there’s always a chance things won’t go the way you hope. Think of it like planting a garden: you invest time and effort, not knowing if your plants will grow. Sometimes, a storm or a pest can ruin your work, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t plant at all. In a relationship, showing love means you might face disappointment or loss, but it’s a risk worth taking for the joy and connection you could find. Even with the possibility of pain, love is valuable and teaches you more about yourself and others.
