I think age and experience has a lot to do with this topic. I believe we lose ourselves and jump quickly when we are younger, some don't know exactly what they need to sustain a long term thing or we are blinded by lust or romantic fantasy and if we jump into the ocean it sweeps us away, but you never feel you will drown, so it is all a big "rush". On the other hand, after living longer,being crazy in love and experiencing relationships that end badly and now ostensibly knowing yourself very well, some people no longer jump so quickly because they need more things than that first "rush", they look deeper into the people they meet, ask more questions, try to be more discerning and do not jump into the ocean because each time you get hurt, you know if you jump into that ocean again, you may indeed, drown this time. I don't believe you harden your heart, you just decide to protect it more as time goes on.
