"How could you possibly not want to fall in love?"

Easy. I don't want to spend my days thinking about if someone else will like my outfit instead of asking myself if I like its comfortable features. I don't want myself to always be walking on eggshells, worrying if I'm going to upset my love. I've already done that enough. I am tired of loving every single person except myself. Exhausted of giving my entire being to people who don't even give me a few moments out of their day to make me feel special. I don't want to live in other people's worlds anymore. I want to have my own world and conjoin it with someone else's to make two worlds, to make an entire universe. I will not settle for someone who treats me any less than extraordinary. I expect too much from people. That is why I don't want to fall in love. I don't want to give someone else the power to destroy me.

I don't want to fall in love because how can I expect someone to love me when I haven't yet learned how to love myself?
