“Call It What You Want”: Why Love Doesn’t Need a Timeline…
Let’s be honest: love is messy…
It’s unpredictable. It doesn’t follow rules, timelines, or society’s expectations. And guess what? It shouldn’t have to. That’s the whole point behind my series, Call It What You Want. It’s not just a love story—it’s a reminder that love is personal, raw, and yours to define, no matter what anyone else has to say about it.
Stop Waiting for Perfect
Have you ever met someone and felt that instant spark? Like, the kind that makes your heart race and your brain shut up? That’s love—or at least something damn close to it. So why do we spend so much time overthinking it? Waiting for the “right moment,” playing it cool, or second-guessing ourselves? By the time you finally decide to say something, the moment’s gone, and you’re left wondering what could’ve been.
Here’s the truth: waiting is overrated. Time is precious, and if you feel something for someone, just say it. Who cares if it’s awkward or if they don’t feel the same? At least you’re being real with yourself. That’s what Call It What You Want is all about—expressing your feelings without hesitation, without overthinking, and without worrying about what people might say.
Love Doesn’t Need Validation
Let’s face it: people love to judge. Whether it’s your relationship, how fast it happened, or who you’re with, there’s always someone ready to throw in their two cents. But here’s the thing—you don’t owe anyone an explanation. Love is about two people, not the opinions of your friends, family, or some random on the internet.
In Call It What You Want, James and Ait feel that spark the moment they meet. There’s no overthinking, no “what will people say,” no waiting around. It’s love—raw, unfiltered, and immediate. Sure, people might call it impulsive or unrealistic, but who cares? Let them call it what they want. What matters is that it’s real for you.
Breakups Aren’t the End of the World
Some people say, “If you fall in love too fast, you’ll break up just as fast.” And maybe they’re right. But here’s the thing—breakups aren’t the end of the world. If a relationship doesn’t work out, at least you know, and you can move on. Isn’t it better to take the chance and find out than to sit around wondering “what if”?
In my view, breakups are just part of the process. They don’t mean the love wasn’t real or worth it. They’re a stepping stone to finding the right connection. And if you figure out quickly that it’s not working, great—you’ve saved yourself a lot of wasted time. That’s not failure; that’s clarity.
Let Go of the Labels
The title Call It What You Want says it all. You don’t have to fit your love into a neat little box or follow some set timeline. Love doesn’t need a label, and it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else. It’s messy, imperfect, and sometimes doesn’t even make sense to you—but that’s what makes it beautiful.
So stop waiting, stop overthinking, and stop worrying about what other people think. If you feel something, say it. If you love someone, show it. And if it doesn’t work out? At least you were brave enough to try.
Love doesn’t have to be defined by what society says it should be. It’s not about the label, the timeline, or the opinions of others. It’s about the connection, the spark, and the courage to say, “This is what I feel.”
