PHILOPHOBIA-Fear of Love

I think the last time , I wrote about this i was a little kid who didn't have a clue about actually being in love and in reality , I still think ,  I have a lot to learn about it.

All the movies, All the books, nothing can ever give you a wronger picture of love. Aladdin holding his hand out and asking Jasmine , if she trusted him and her jumping into a world of unknown...that is how love is. You jump into a world of surprises with someone who is foolish enough to want to get involved. It's not a beautiful, calm carpet ride but is filled with bumps and storms and even moments where you might get thrown of the carpet and into a scary world. 

I think the most important thing is understanding that love is not the cliche that we all grow up listening to. Love is about understanding and tolerance and respect and its about choosing that one person who you would jump with on a carpet and ride on with, into the dark night.

Most people are afraid of love because they look at it wrongly. The moment you accept the truth, that love like any other emotion is just an emotion, is the day you lose your fear. 

There will be days, when in love you feel like ,you dont understand it anymore. There will be times when you want to just rip out all your hair in frustration , There will be days when you just want to book a taxi and just keep going and not look back even once.

But you know what, in the end of the day, amidst all this pain and suffering , you realise that there is no other person you'd rather suffer with. And thats when you know you're in love.

It's a daunting thought , to be in love, to want to make someone a priority , to want to always be there for someone (no matter how  hurt you are).

In the long scheme of life, Its worth it. Maybe you wont get a Noah and Allie like love story .............But eh, who's comparing?
