To an extent, this is true.
Relationships do make you stronger, more confident and able to face battles you werent sure of before.
But its not that straightforward.

I guess the problem is that loving someone doesnt come without its fair share of struggles.
You think itd be easy.
You think that youll find the right person and life will sail smoothly after this.
You think that nothing can go wrong after this and the worst of your difficulties are behind you.
You think that theyll never hurt you and you most definitely wont hurt them.
But its not that simple.
With loving someone comes immense responsibility and emotional commitment.
Its not just about wearing makeup and getting dressed up.
Its not just about going on beautiful dates.
Its not just about having someone you could finally send couple memes to.
Its not just about speaking on the phone for hours on end.
Its about so much more than all those things.
When you love someone, you take responsibility to keep them as happy as you might.
When you love someone, you give them responsibility to keep you happy.
When you love someone, you put all your trust in them and expect that they wont break it.
When you love someone, you strip off your walls and show them your vulnerabilities.
When you love someone, you give them a huge part of yourself.
Loving isnt easy.Its not as simple as a trip to the park.
Its not always as fun as an adventure.
Its not always as comfortable as breathing.
Yes, there are adventures.
Yes, there is laughter and happiness and days out and nights spent in.
Yes, there is the kind of peace in their arms that you wont get anywhere else.
But there are also countless differences.
There is stepping out of your comfort zone more than once.
There is anger, sadness and tears.
There is so much happiness, but this happiness is often peppered with constant growth and fluctuation.
This happiness is a result of two people wanting to make it work together.
This happiness is sometimes bitter-sweet.
Love is beautiful, its the most incredible experience that can change your life for the better.
But when you truly love someone, every difficult step is one that youre willing to take for them.
When you love someone, nothing else matters.
Because at the end of it, loving them is so damn worth it.
