If there's one thing love does without fail, it's bring out insecurity. There's something about admitting your feelings to another person that creates vulnerability and the possibility of heartbreak. Fears of not being good enough, of not being the best they've ever had, the smartest, the cutest, the sweetest can be overwhelming. Why do we feel the need to be everything for somebody?
Acceptance. I think we all seek to be accepted, 100% of who we are, by someone and for it to be enough. We want someone to validate that everything we've become is worth something. Self worth is great and all but having someone who isn't yourself love you for who you are takes the cake.
The idea that I'll be hurt deeply terrifies me. That fear keeps me from admitting how I feel, even if I love freely. And stubbornness. Can't forget that.
