Thanx since I'm not a native speaker could you tell me if the first sounds strange to say for a native speaker? Or is it that the first sounds normal too but the second is more grammatically correct?

Can I add that you have a comma splice here? These are two complete sentences and can't be joined by a comma.

Your heart is not a bus. Don't let just anybody come inside.

No. It's not really very strange. Just a little strange to my ear. Technically, both are grammatically correct.
