So much of ourselves is measured, calculated, and compared to the worldly standards we should uphold.
Love was never meant to be one of those things.

The world says be guarded.
@lmw
The world says take caution.
The world says have options.
Never revolve yourself around one single person; keep others on the backburner.
Lead each lover on with smooth words and unsure intentions.
Thats how you keep yourself safe, you know.
The world says bedistant.
@lmw
Emotions cool and collected.
Unreadable, even when youre dying to feel someones lips on yours.
The world says run at the first sign of trouble.
If a person becomes too much to bear, let them battle their demons alone.
The world says care less, engage in physical over meaningful, disappear without a call.
The world says take a certain amount of days to respond, all calculated, all based in fear.
The world says youre supposed to settle down.
Youre supposed to be with your high school sweetheart.
Youre supposed to find the one right out of college.
Youre supposed to have this love thing all figured out.
The world says, this is how you should love.
But f*ck what the world says.
Some of us fall deeply.
Some of us fall slowly.
The worlds standard of love does not have to be your standard of love.
There are no rules you must abide by.
If you want to kiss someone, kiss them.
If you want to tell him how you feel, let him know.
If you want to fly her out to meet your family, buy the damn ticket.
You dont have to shy away from your true heart.
You dont have to back off from your pure, unhindered intentions.
Theres no reason to be afraid.
You dont have to love like the world loves.
You are not the world.
You dont have to be so damn afraid of rejection.
If it doesnt work out, its simply a lesson learned.
You dont have to be so damn scared of heartbreak.
Even the worst pain will cease in time and teach you your strength.
You dont have to be so damn scared of loss.
Why not love fiercely, with everything you have?
The world tells you to shy away, to have options, to never fully commit.
And how can a world thats too afraid to reallyfeelfind anything remotely genuine?
If you want to date the boy thatswrong for you, do it.
If you want to fall for the girl whos guarded, fall freely.
If you want to take chances, makemistakes, have an imperfect and messy and wonderful lovedive headfirst.
What the world believes your love should look like does not have to be the way your relationship is.
Dance in the street and act like children.
Share pizza and watch the sunrise.
Stay in your hometown.
Give your heart away.
Heal it back after its been broken.
Fall for someone you should.
Fall for someone you shouldnt.
Listen to your head.
Listen to your heart.Dont be so afraid to feel.
So much of ourselves is measured, calculated, and compared to the worldly standards we should uphold.
Love was never meant to be one of those things.
So dont let it.
Love fiercely, love quietly, love boldly, love purely.Love the way you want to.
