Love isn’t supposed to be easy one-hundred percent of the time.
Getting into a relationship isnt going to magically make you happy.
It might make youhappier, but it wont make the rest of your issues disappear.
Raphael Nast
You still need to put effort into yourself.
You still need to work on healing and growing and thriving as an individual.
Theres enough room to care about you both.
Love isnt supposed to be easy one-hundred percent of the time.
There are going to be problems.
There are going to be arguments.
You shouldnt be screaming at each other, trying to get a word in.
You shouldnt be biting your tongue, afraid to tell them the truth about how youre feeling, either.
Love isnt supposed to be the only thing bringing you joy in life.
Your person isnt in charge of your happiness.
They shouldnt be the only thing bringing a smile to your face.
Love isnt supposed to be reserved for two perfect people.
Youre going to have ups and downs with your partner.
Youre going to disagree on little things from time to time and thats okay.
You arent supposed to have the exact same interests and get along swimmingly one-hundred percent of the time.
you’ve got the option to have different tastes and still be compatible.
you’re able to disagree and still form a strong bond.
Love isnt supposed to make you stressed.
Sometimes, youre going to go through rough patches, but your whole relationship shouldnt be a rough patch.
You shouldnt feel uncomfortable whenever your partner walks into the room.
They shouldnt make you nervous in a bad way.
Overall, spending time with them should be a pleasant experience.
It should be something that excites you, not something you dread.
Love isnt supposed to be perfect.
Love will require an immense amount of effort, not only in thebeginningof the relationship, but throughout theentirerelationship.
You cant get lazy with each other once you grow used to each other.
You cant neglect each other because you assume youre never going to leave each other.
you should probably work hard.
you better act present.
Love, real love, is never perfect.
But its perfect for you.
