Love me – Love me Not

I’m not afraid to love and I never will be, for it is not love that fails, it’s people that fail.
The biggest enemies of true love are fear, mistrust, selfishness, deceit, unfaithfulness and the list goes on.
People have an infinite capacity to love. It’s not like you give your love to one person and you have none left,  far from it!
You can love many different people on many different levels; parents, children, friends, acquaintances, coworkers, romantic partners, the list is endless.

There should never be shame in saying “I love you” why are people so afraid to say it?
Because as soon as you say it you expose yourself and open yourself up to vulnerability and the chance of being hurt. Not just any kind of hurt! The kind of hurt that crushes your heart and soul and it doesn’t heal quickly! There is no other pain like emotional pain! But there’s also no greater reward than the reward of loving someone and being loved.

I definitely believe in love at first sight.
Even though it may be superficial, it is definitely possible. However the greatest love is the love that grows over time; far past the superficial and into the heart, mind and soul of one another.
I believe the reason there are less real great loves is because people give up too easy! If it doesn’t work today move on to the next tomorrow.

People are addicted to sex and superficial relationships because it gives them an endorphin rush just like any other drug but in the end you feel empty, tired and unloved.
So don’t be afraid to fail at love, don’t be afraid to be emotionally wounded; be afraid of the emptiness that goes along with being emotionally unavailable.
Take a chance on love!
