Darling Dearest

I am trying again. Starting new.

AND I AM TERRIFIED.

His smile is like honey, the overwhelming sweetness that radiates is enough to spike my blood sugar.

His chestnut locks, like a forest my hands want to get lost in.

He tells me that I am beautiful and accepts me and my flaws.

He lets me be me, without fear of repercussions.

He makes me want to work on being a better me.

He feels too good to be true.

And I am terrified.

I am terrified of getting attached and left. I am terrified of messing up. I am terrified of not being good enough.

but so what?

Fear can stop me from many things but love is not one of them. Everyone deserves love.

Whether it is platonic, romantic, or familial, you deserve the love you lack and seek out.

I believe there is no use fearing love. Love surrounds us. Despite heartbreaks, love will prevail.

I have been hurt SO MANY times, yet I refuse to back down from what I deserve, which is someone to love.
