To love or to be loved?

As much as I love either to love or to be loved, I still firmly believe love itself is a game for two. I love when you love, you love when I love. I have so much love to give and I expect to receive the same amount of love, not much or less <3

Tough question... I don't have any answer for this, I feel like my state right now isn't suitable to fall in love or anything.

For now, I find myself yearning to be loved more than to love. To love is to endure. And I don’t have the energy to endure any more. What I need right now is to be seen, to be understood, included, considered for who I am. I just... want to feel cherished.

Honestly though, as much as I want to be loved, I'd rather love someone first. I can’t stand the thought of being the reason for someone’s pain if I fail to return their love. And when someone does love me, I hope I can love them just as much, or even more.

Now, why would you ask me this... (The answer is to love. I’m too much of a hopeless romantic that I’d give away if not half of my heart, then the entirety of my heart if I love someone THAT much. I love to the point it aches and I love to the point I’d be so giddy about them 24/7.)
