It's a feeling that almost every person seeks in the life time: love. The beauty of love is that it takes form in a variety of forms-- parental, friendship, relationship and many more. The power of loving someone and having someone love you back is an unbreakable bond-- an almost inexplicable sentiment. However, there is a cost when you love someone.

One of the most terrifying costs that comes with loving someone is the the possibility of that person being gone. The thought of someone being out of your life-- whether that be through passing away or breaking up-- is enough to shake you to your core. When you love someone, they take a piece of you whether you like it or not. They hold an inexorable bond to you.

When you love someone, tough choices become way harder. You understand that just because you love someone, it does mean you have the choice to keep them around if that's not what they want. It's what all of the cliches say, if you love someone set them free; if they're meant to come back you you, they will.

The purpose of saying all of this is not to scare anyone off from loving someone; it's more of a forewarning. You can't fully love someone unless you love yourself.

When it comes to love in a relationship, it's imperative to reach a certain maturity. Since there is so much to lose when you love someone, it's important that this is taken into account.

There is nothing more beautiful and wholesome as the feeling of loving someone.

Never let the unknown determine your actions because you could be missing out on one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life.

Yes, it's scary to love someone. There is so much to lose, but there is so much more to gain.

As they say, it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.
