Love could be kind, love could be enjoyable, love could be scary. Heartbreaking, tiring, emotional, stressing work.  Love is a powerful word that is tossed around like a ball way too often. Used by young children who are unknowing for the most part.  Love has to be felt throughout the body. Feel it spiritually, mentally, and physically.

Terrifying experiences struck me into questioning the meaning and the importance of love. I always struggle with relationships, I can't seem to please. Love is a word that I do not say to many. The word is too powerful to be said to others who do not have an impact on my life. 

Could I just be too young? Too young to know, too young to feel, too young to understand the concept. I fear the word love, and all that comes with the word. Could I get over the fear?  I do not know. Everything is a possibility.  Too young to know if I ever will. 

Love is fearing.

Philophobia.
