The part of me that holds back is more fear-based of course...wanting to control outcomes by protecting myself, etc. The devastation of recent heartbreak still casts a shadow. What I want is to be fully open to life. Because worse than the heartbreak was losing myself in my marriage, not being fully myself.
So what you are seeking is to become more fearless in the face of the possibility of heartbreak, and to find ways of being more open to what is unfolding than you have been. Maybe you have some thoughts on what happened in the marriage that caused this to not be the case.

So you are finding ways to both be the passionate and open woman you want and also not getting overly attached to circumstances that are not desirable.
