Accept that you are not everyones cup of tea.

Accept that a relationship wont solve all your problems.
Accept that you might be alone for a long time.
You cant just hop on board with any passing relationship that looks comfortable and convenient.
You have to be willing to stick it out for the one that will actually be worth hanging onto.
Accept that when it shows up, love wont necessarily look the way you wanted it to.
Your love story wont be a Disney film.
Or even a fun-loving episode of Friends.
It wont always be glamorous or polished or even particularly romantic a lot of the time.
But it will last, if youre willing to work for it to.
Accept that you might have to fight for the relationship you want.
Chances are, the person of your dreams isnt going to fall right into your lap.
You might have to chase them a little.
You might have to put yourself out there in a way that feels uncomfortable.
You might have to be a lot more vulnerable than youre used to.
Accept that being a nice person wont be enough to make a relationship work.
Everyone considers themselves to be a nice person.
The truth is, it takes a lot more than niceness to be a good partner.
Sometimes being a good partner means stepping away from the emotional component of the relationship and evaluating problems objectively.
Sometimes it means refusing to cave to your partners demands.
Accept that forever isnt something you find its something you build.
You will not know that someone is your forever person on a first date.
Or a sixteenth date.
Or a three-year wedding anniversary.
Or on the day that your first child is born.
Becauseforeveris not a personality trait, or even a compatibility measure.
It is literally a measure of time.
At that point, you could celebrate having found them.
But until then, youre going to have to work like hell at your relationship.
Because thats the only real way to make a relationship last forever.
