Everyone wants to be loved, but not everyone has the courage, the faith, the determination it requires to love someone. 
We all want somebody who cares. Somebody who will listen to us, who will understand us, who will support us no matter what. We all want someone we can share moments with and turn them into beautiful memories. But ask yourself, do you love? Do you listen to the ones you love? Do you believe in them even if they don’t believe in themselves? Do you encourage them to be happy?
What kind of love are you looking for? Is that the kind of love you give others? Or are you too afraid to get hurt, so you hold back?

“Sometimes you just gotta feel and that’s how you know it’s real.”
(It’s like that with you by Eric Saade)

Sometimes love is not about what we want, what we expect or how we think it should be. If we hold on to these things as if they were rules to follow, we’ll probably never find someone who we can really love. You have to love yourself and respect yourself enough to know that you deserve to be loved. But many people have a wrong idea about love. When you truly love someone you love them the way they are, you don’t want to change them; you believe in them; you want them to be happy… even if that happiness is not with you.
Love is not about what you get, is about what you give. That’s why love hurts. Sometimes they don’t love you back. You might feel like you’re not enough, that your love is going to waste. It is necessary to understand that this is not something you can blame on anyone. Love is something that grows inside a person’s heart, it’s a feeling that’s inspired by someone. It’s not something you can choose or decide to do. Love takes time. But there are some things that can stop someone from loving somebody: fears. 
I know it’s hard, but you’ll find out that, no matter how scared you are, when the right person comes along (and even though your fears may still be there) you’re going to feel something that will change everything. And if you’re ready… if you’re brave enough to allow yourself to feel this feeling there will come a point in your life when this feeling will take over your fears, and you will do the only thing there is left for you to do: you will love. You will love no matter how hard it is, or how much it hurts, or how impossible it may be. That is the kind of love that is strong enough, powerful enough to move mountains. It is rare, but it is real, and it is new every day.
It takes a lot of courage, but if you let it happen… you will be happy.
