Love isnt easy.
If it was, then everyone would be in love all the time.
While some people are hopeless romantics, others struggle with love and intimacy.

Its okay if you struggle.
Its okay if you need help understanding your emotions.
Most importantly its okay if you have trouble with love.
Loving someone is hard.
It takes work and it takes dedication.
Above all it takes a certain appreciation for yourself and for your partner.
You lay your heart on the line and thats not easy.
So here is me telling you thatits okay.
Its okayif you struggle to open up.
You are just working things out and letting yourself understand your feelings.
Its okayif your idea of love isnt this huge romanticized production.
Your love can be simple.
It can be calm.
It can be wild.
It can be thrilling.
Love is what YOU make it to be.
Its okayif you have trouble showing your emotions.
Not everyone can cry.
Not everyone can reach deep within their soul and understand how to make sense of their feelings.
Start by focusing on your emotions internally instead of putting pressure on yourself to show them to others.
Its okayif you dont want to dive in to love.
You should take all the time you need and more.
Dont let anyone pressure you to feel things prematurely.
Its okayif you have been hurt before.
We all have our baggage and we all have our scars.
Accept your past and know that the sun will come out tomorrow.
Its okayif love challenges you at first.
Embrace this adversity and dont back down when things seem hard.
Its important that you learn to grow outside of your comfort zone.
Its okayto put physical intimacy on side for a bit.
Sex can be so fleeting and temporary, while emotions multiply and grow throughout your head and your heart.
Dont let sex define your relationship and learn how to channel your emotions instead.
Its okayif you never want to be in love.
Its okayif you are afraid.
Hopefully someday you will be with someone who will ease your fears.
Its okayif you feel intimidated.
Let yourself learn about the kind of love you want.
Its okayif you dont want to be in distress.
You dont need saving.
Then find someone who will go along with you on the ride.
Its okayto let yourself try and fail at love.
Make mistakes and learn from them.
Embrace your errors and keep moving forward.
No one knows what love is or what it means until theyLEARN.
Most importantly, love yourself first.
