Opening up to people

Hi /adv/,
My girlfriend and I have been together for a solid two months now. I'm really in love with her, and we get on on a mental, physical and emotional level. She's my first serious girlfriend, and I don't want to ruin this, because I really really really like her (I even love her, but can't get the words out of my mouth). I trust her. But my main problem is, is that I am not very open to people, and it takes a really long time (at least a year) before I trust someone enough to start opening up, and tell them how I feel about the world and show my true inside to them.
I want to tell her everything that is inside my head, and how I feel, and what I expect of the world, and things that hurt me, and how I enjoy certain things. But the fear of opening up prevents me from doing that. I really want this, but simply dont know what to tell her, and where to start. The main thing preventing me to open up is the fear of getting hurt if I do. I get the feeling that everything will become a lot better once I open up. But I don't know how to.
Do you guys have any advice on how I can open up to her, and get out of my comfort zone? Where do I start? What kind of things should, and shouldn't I tell her? What would be a small step in the right direction? What will be her most likely reaction to my closedness?
I thought of starting by telling her how difficult it is for me to open up to people.
Might help that I give this extra information: It is a natural part of my character to not trust people very fast. plus I got fucked over by my 'best' friend in the past, which put a large dent in my ability to trust anyone.
>pic related, it is the scarf I made her for when she went on her ski-trip
