Do people change or do they reveal who they really are in time?

Are people capable of keeping the love they once did everything in their will to attain?

Is it love that we're afraid of or is it the person that we fell in love with that we're afraid of? Afraid of losing them, afraid of them gradually turning into a stranger. The person we once fell in love with disappeared into someone we barely even know now?

So how do I over come it? How do I learn to open my scarred heart again? How do I learn to be brave again and not take every flaw that happens as a red flag? How do I start believing again?

How do I start? Where do I start?
