Don't ever believe someone who says
Love is easy and beautiful. Or it should be.
You don't need that kind of half truth in your life.
Because...
Love should be easy and beautiful, but it also should be tough and nerve wrecking
Love should test your patience, your limits, your boundaries, and emerge.
Yes, you shouldn't have to work so hard to get a little love, but who would value it and for how long, if it was always there readily available?
Let's get real. True love is tough. It's almost impossible. It's gut wrenching. It's the kind where you wanna pull your hair, smack your other half, kick them in the butt, but still want to be with them. Through all of it and never have it any other way or with someone else. That's true love.
Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.
