How to kiss and not create bruises

I found this on Tumblr, and it was just so beautiful and heartbreaking I had to share.

It can be difficult to determine how much of yourself to give to somebody else. Often, we can give too much, too soon, and not get anything in return. 

Life and love are hard. And when you don't have a lot of self-worth, as I haven't in the past, we often give too much of ourselves away in the hope of receiving a small ounce of attention. In the long run, it only results in more pain. 

Just something worth reflecting on.
