I know that real love only comes when I abandon all fear and say, Im all in.
So Im all in.

Im sick of being scared.

Scared to let someone in.
Im sick of not loving with intensity, with passion, with recklessness that is borderline foolish.
Im sick of worrying so damn much about whether this is going to work.I just want to fall.
I just want to try.
Were conditioned to be so different when it comes to relationships.
But Im so sick of living, of loving like Im fragile.

Im not afraid of giving myself to someone else.
Im not afraid of testing the waters and learning who someone really is.
So Im all in.
For the first moments of infatuation and butterflies.
For the ways I will learn someone slowly, quickly, deliberately, and all at once.
For the fights, for the mess, for the ways we will hurt one another along the road.
For the potential we both have to get completely broken.
Still I will choose to love.
Because I am not afraid.
I will hold hands.
I will kiss lips.
I will be my imperfect self.
I will give my heart freely to someone who feels and treats me right.
I will not settle for less than I deserve.
I will not stand for mistreatment or abuse.
I will be true and honest and love with intensity.
I will be open and vulnerable and stand tall in the face of heartbreak.
And if I end up broken, I will pick myself up and brush myself off.
And I will continue to love, damn it.
I will continue to love.
