How do I know?

September 19, 2019
By Anonymous

 Vulnerable is me. At this point in my life I'm terrified of love. Well… not love. I'm afraid to fall in love. To put myself out there just to get hurt again. To become so close to someone only to have them walk out of my life. I guess you could say I have trust issues. I fear more than anything, and sometimes my anxiety takes over. I worry that falling in love is a waste of time. I don't believe that love can just be “okay”. If you fall in love, go all in. Put the fear and previous relationships aside, and love can be beautiful. To be in love is a beautiful thing. It just scares me. Worries me. What if the next one hurts me? What if he walks away? How do I learn to love again? How do I know he wants me? How do I know I love him?

Don't worry. You'll know. Trust me.
