To be loved is to be known

"We all censor ourselves to some degree out of fear of being rejected. If people don't really know us, however, they can't really love us. I figure if I express my true thoughts and feelings and someone rejects me for it, I've been set free to connect with people who can love and appreciate me for who I really am"– Anahata

I found this quote at the wonderful blog EAT-MANGOES-NEKKID. This really struck me because we do censor ourselves in order to fit in or be liked. And as the quote says, if we do censor then people really won't know us. So if we are to find true love we have to be brave enough to be our true selves. Otherwise we go through life never being loved because we were never truly known.
