What Makes Love So Scary?

Vulnerability

Opening the chambers of your inner world, allowing another to know your ins and outs

To know what makes you tick, and what you love most

All of the things that you hold close to your heart

Your childhood memories; that you sleep with the tv on because you’re afraid of the dark

Your biggest fears

Your insecurities, your short comings

The things that keep you up at night..

You allow them to see you strong, to see you weak

Putting yourself in the open, no defense at all, hoping to be received properly

Wishing, sometimes begging, to be held gently

Compromised with, included in one’s future

To be someone’s favorite person, someone that they can rely on

To allow yourself to be loved by someone that you feel has your best interest at heart that also allows you to fully and freely love them..

But people are constantly changing,

Sometimes we outgrow each other or circumstances may not fit as they once did

What you thought would last “forever” is now in danger of meeting its end

The one that you made so many promises to, and so many memories with

Those intimate moments, and times of immense happiness

The one that you shared many laughs and meals with, your “safe space” is not anymore

This “fear of love” is actually a fear of being vulnerable

Many feel that this vulnerable state leaves them at a disadvantage because people can be very unpredictable and complicated

At one point in the connection, you feel embraced, cared for, and understood

The inner child that stood alone, crying within the darkness, found hope in this bond, a light at the end

But that hope has been stripped away..

And now there’s only darkness again

Love is an amazing feeling. We put ourselves at risk for it so often

All of the good that love encompasses, is it really to blame for a “failed” goal?

To feel love is not wrong, to be vulnerable is not wrong

At times, life happens. Things do not always go as we plan

In the end, we recover, one way or another, and put ourselves in positions to love again
