Being Crazy in Love

Unknowingly, we often put an imaginary wall in between our perfect partner and ourselves, thinking that this is the only way that we can get protected from pain. While inside this makeshift bubble, we ask ourselves, "What does it really take to be in love?" After reading all Shakespearean sonnets and memorizing all the love songs in the radio, the same grueling question still reverberates in our minds. Yet in truth, the answer is simple and it only relies on our choices.

Let loose. Unfetter your inhibitions and welcome all the feelings that love has to offer. Sometimes, we are constricting ourselves with that perfect concept of finding the one and possibly lifting ourselves up from single life. We have our personal ideal concepts of the perfect marriage, the best Valentines date, the preeminent soul mate and the ultimate boyfriend.

We engross ourselves with too much poetry and disguise that we forget how "luv" used to be dangerous and fun. Being crazy in love makes all the difference in the world of passion and romance. Yes, fairytales do present visions of perfection in princes and dukes, but in reality, you can find more ardor and desire in the boy next door or the tattooed guy on the motorcycle. Erase all your reticence and fear and let go of something that puts you away from possible relationships. Take a risk and be free of prospects and anticipation. Once you do all these, you'd be surprised as to how love can be so endearing and enlightening so long as you receive it with open arms.
