Which is worse fearing to love or fearing failure?

I got this question from a friend's status on Facebook ( shout out to Vic D.) but it has been an underlying thing to many of my conversations lately. I have so many friends who have been hurt in past relationships that they are afraid of love. I understand that it is always hard to get over having your heart broke, but how do you expect to ever have love if you are afraid to love and/or afraid of failing? Life is all about taking risks and nothing is without consequence.

I think its all about how you handle the outcome of your actions/thoughts/and words. You also have to remind yourself that you can not be accountable for others' actions/thoughts/and words. All you can do is be you- 1,000%, at all times. Love honestly, fully, hard and openly. Give your all and hope for the best. Everyone is not worthy of your love, so use it wisely and discretely. Should someone take advantage of that love and abuse it, then know that there will come a day when they will reap what they've sowed. You have absolutely no control on who you love, or when you will fall in love or how much you will love someone. Take the time to enjoy the feeling and moments and know that not everyone is going to love like you do. It is not possible to always get what you give. The best thing to do is to just love.

Use that past heartache to make better decisions in the future. Don't let the fear to love or the fear of failure keep you from receiving and enjoying the LOVE you deserve!!!!!!!

Stay with love
*Awesome*

Right! We all grow from experience and lessons learned. They essentially make us better people too! I get so frustrated at some times with the bad decisions I've made, but on the other side of the spectrum. If I didn't go through certain things then I wouldn't be the person that I am today. Each trial and tribulation makes me stronger and I acknowledge that. Currently, I'm trying to make better decisions and be aware at all times.
