It’s time to take back the reigns on our love life, to jump head first and to give love a chance again.
When it comes to love I like to tell myself I’m quite the believer in fate, soul mates, and all that sappy shit people hate to admit they actually love. But the truth is lots of us don’t follow through with these actions. Whether we’ve been hurt in the past or we just don’t want to risk losing control of our emotions again we fight love and ultimately stop ourselves from finding it.
It’s a hard thing to accept love especially when we don’t think we deserve it, or we’re scared, or we simply don’t know what love actually is.
Well I’ll let you in on a little secret.
No one actually knows what the hell they are doing, and that’s a good thing, we get too caught up in following love algorithms and listening to people tell us what we should say and do and wear just to get them interested.
In reality love can be so many different things, it can be calm and easy, passionate and intense, or it could be heartbreaking and painful. Each love is different from the last but we’ve become so closed off to even welcome any of it that we subject ourselves to believing we’re unlovable or we simply don’t need it.
I know we live in an age where romance is no longer the same as it is portrayed in 1800’s literature but the passion remains if we let it. In the tech world full of swiping left or right and judging too harshly what people post on social media we forget what love should really be about.
Connection. Romance. Sparks. That ‘shout at the top of a mountain’ feeling.
I’m by no means an expert on the topic or even understand it myself, but don’t you think it’s time we stop avoiding it and let love back?
Love is Love wherever you may find it. Be brave, and know that you’re stronger than you think.
