“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”
— Neil Gaiman

Simplified Meaning:
Falling in love can be both a wonderful and difficult experience. When you love someone, you let them into your life and heart, making you open and defenseless in a way. It's like opening a door to your innermost feelings and fears, allowing another person to see who you really are. This can be scary, because if that person hurts, leaves, or disappoints you, the emotional pain can be very deep. For instance, think about a close friend you trust completely, and then imagine if they suddenly betrayed you or abandoned you. The hurt and confusion you would feel comes from that vulnerability. Loving someone brings happiness and connection, but it also means taking the risk that things might not always go perfectly.
