It is not a weakness to fall in love. I see it as strength. Weakness is the need to control for without that control, you are vulnerable and insecure. To love is to be willing to sacrifice a part of you for something or someone else. A part of you meaning time, energy or even thoughts. To add an additional and unnecessary emotions to oneself. You are perfectly able to live on your own. Replacing needs with the existence of pets, people and creativity. But to fill that gap with a person takes deep courage. To let yourself choose another person is risky. I'm a coward. I have been disappointed before. And am very reluctant to experience another relationship. To be vulnerable to another promise. To gamble another future. But maybe, it's time to be a bit more brave.
