We want to simply love.

And yet, we want to overcomplicate love.

We want to pass blame when it falls apart.

We want to make it harder than it has to be.

Its honestly, that we have to believe in it.

When we fall for people, in a sense, the love comes naturally.

Love is inherent within us, with the right people.

But there are so many aspects of love we have yet to grasp.

We still fear for new relationships, carrying the baggage of our old ones with us.

Half the battle of love is believing in it.

Not oversimplifying or over-complicating.

Not attempting to have all the answers.

Its not so much about finding a perfect person, or having this amazing connection.

Its not about looking back and wishing you could change parts of a past relationship.

You just let go.You just let someone fully, beautifully into your heart.
