In real love, you see through people.
You see their hearts, their goals, their wishes, their desires.
With my best friend, I learned about love through her honesty.
Alyson Redding
True friendship knows no bounds, no restrictions, no barriers of location or miles or space between.
This is how a relationship should be.
No hesitation, no fear, no wondering whether or not the other person is committed.
Real love does not fall victim to distance.
The act of loving another person through their faults and mistakes and inconsistencies is hard.
And sometimes real love is toughtelling it like it is or being brutally honest about emotions and decisions.
Alyson Redding
Real love isnt sugar-coated and sunshiney all the time.
But if my best friend taught me one thing its this: there is no love without pain.
And even though love can hurt sometimes, when you love someone you fight with and for them.
Without disagreements, opinions, and difficult times, there is no real relationship.
There is nothing more heart-mending than a hug from someone who deeply cares for you.
Love waits for you to be ready to get up in the morning when you feel broken and lost.
Love waits for you to be comfortable in your own skin.
Real love waits for you to be ready, in any manner and situation there is.
My best friend taught me that real love means abandoning what youre working on to answer the phone.
It means putting someone first, even before yourself, when they need you.
Its give and take.
But at the end of the day, you still love the hell out of each other.
At the end of the day, love is way more fun than difficult.
And thats how it should be.
And thats how it should be.Fun.
Love doesnt just leave without reason or warning.
It isnt an emotion you feel one day then no longer have the next.
It isnt fleeting or impermanent.
It grows over time and with trust.
My best friend was there through it all.
She was the one I could depend on when my world was spinning.
She was the voice that kept me grounded, the arms that always felt like home.
Thats the kind of love you deserve.
