... But the man l loved fell out of love with me. That broke my heart. And whenever the chance to be loved came along again, l ran away from it. l stopped trusting people.

When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose. Your heart might still be broken, but it isn't gone.

— It's scary out there.
— Ain't much better in here, kid.
