A love can't be lived in fears of being hurt. It won't allow the love to grow and reach its potential. Love means becoming vulnerable. That part has to be accepted to live experiencing being truly in love.

...what kind of life would that be though, to live in fear from what could happen? Yes, there’s the potential to be hurt more the deeper in love you are but to me to feel even a sliver of pure deep love is worth whatever comes. Fearing an outcome that may or may not come will not only make you more aware of the little things that can destroy it, in turn feeding those elements of destruction, but will also take away from the beauty of being completely and totally in that place so few ever get to experience. Why waste that on the what if’s? Screw that way of thinking. If you’re blessed enough to have that connection with another fully enjoy it instead of letting the mind tarnish it with undue worry. Life’s too short, man. Love and love big ☮

I always told my son to keep in mind, that the person he's dating will either become his ex, or his wife. Don't give all of your heart until you know which one she will be.

What a waste of a beautiful time...feeling insecure would ruin that "deeply in love" moment

No. The deeper in love I am the more do I feel free and independent.

the more you are invested
the more you have to lose

Not for me... we have no thoughts of fear in our love...

I'm 31 and feel like I'm in love for the first time...i know it sounds cheesy...but the point is i tell her what would hurt the most is seeing her hurt...so i guess I'm more afraid of hurting her than me being hurt

Yes especially if you care for the other person more than they did for you.

Yes definitely.

Yes it is very true.
