Parts of you that have been hidden deeply inside. Parts that may feel safer in the dark. But the truth is, you can\u2019t share your heart in parts.<\/p>\n<p>When you commit to sharing your heart, you are committing to telling the truth\u2014even the hard parts. Because a heart partially shared is a broken heart; a heart fragmented and only partially known.<\/p>\n<p>All of you is worthy of being seen. All of you needs to be known. And only you hold the key to the lock of your heart.<\/p>\n<p>When you find someone and give them that key, there is a strong assumed agreement being built, often without any words. That assumed agreement feels something like \u201cI\u2019m going to let you in. Don\u2019t hurt me!\u201d on the part of the one who offers the key. On the part of the one taking possession of the key, it may feel like: \u201cHm, what does this mean?!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In our relationships, a lot of \u201cagreements\u201d are assumed. We may assume sexual exclusivity\u2014and if this agreement is not voiced out loud, someone may get hurt. And no one would really be at fault, because no one would have asked.<\/p>\n<p>So, in sharing your heart, make agreements out loud. That way no one is left to make assumptions about what this sharing means.<\/p>\n<h2>Symbolism of A Ceremony<\/h2>\n<p>When you are ready to really give your heart to someone, why not make a ceremony of it? In the early months of our relationship, my husband gave me a heart made of gemstone. Later on, I gave my husband a pretty silver stone with the words \u201cLove Will Set Us Free\u201d on it.<\/p>\n<p>These serve as a reminder, but the true navigation and negotiation came on words. Not only did I promise him honesty, I guaranteed him honesty, even when that honesty might not be comfortable. And now we both offer the truth of our hearts without thinking twice. Even when it hurts.<\/p>\n<p>And, when it hurts, sometimes one of us might say, \u201cYou hold my heart,\u201d just as a reminder.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lasara Firefox Allen is an author, educator, activist, and coach.
