Falling In Love

Love.

Why are we so scared of it?

Why does loving someone make so many of us run?

Love is beautiful.

It is patient.

It is kind.

Love.... bears all things.

But falling in love can be so scary.

And why do we call it falling?

Because when we fall in love are we really falling.

I think of it more as going up. As reaching towards the sky, towards the unknown.

When we fall in love everything is so new.

The "Good Morning" text messages, the dinner dates, the phone calls before you go to bed.

The "butterflies" feeling.

But what I can't understand is why are so many of us scared to have that?

To feel that?

As humans sometimes we think we are in love but sometimes it might just turn out to be lust.

But love is real.

You know when it's love.

Love is passionate.

Love is laughing at all hours of the night until it hurts.

Love is dancing together at random times, no matter the time or place.

Love is opening your arms for her when she crawls into bed and wants to snuggle with you.

Love is kissing her on her forehead when she's had a bad day and just wants to sit there in silence with you.

Love is compromising life with her.

Love is traveling together and falling in love with new places together.

Love is letting your guard down and telling your secrets and fears.

Love is being vulnerable.

Yes, it's scary.

Yes, you might get hurt.

Yes, the pain that something is literally stepping on your heart might be there.

But, what if something great comes out of it.

What if you find your forever person?

Think about all the endless possibilities you can learn from someone that loves you.

The things that they might show you.

The different ways they express their love for you.

So yes, falling in love can be so scary, but damn, it could be so worth it.

Don't be afraid to love.
Until next time.
