What is it about love and dating that freaks many people out so much? Nowadays, if you even mention the word love in a conversation, you won’t be ranked too high on anyone’s list. A lot of people fear love without knowing anything about love. When you love, you give more than just the word love itself; you give yourself. You give everything you have so when you lose that love, you lose yourself as well.

I understand why many fear love, but I just don’t get why many allow the negatives of love to scare them away from the positives that love has to offer. It is the good in love that should drive you to overcome the negatives. Many look at love as a duty and a job. Many see love as a burden instead of something pleasurable.

Love is to be enjoyed and cherished.  Yes, love hurts, but love also makes everything around us feel so great regardless of how it really is. There isn’t a problem that love can’t solve. The picture of love has faded away from our minds either because of prior experiences, or the experiences of our peers. When you really think about it, you don’t really fear love, rather, you only fear what the people around you have gone through.

While waiting to board my flight yesterday, I watched an older couple interlock fingers as if they were on their first date. I was convinced that love can be forever and as long as I never forget that one moment, then I believe love is not completely dead. At the end of the day, love is what we make it to be. If we make love a way of life, then we’ll enjoy it and if we enjoy it, there is no way we can lose love or ourselves, but instead, we’ll gain someone that will complete our being. Love.
