When you find a love that lasts, don’t give up.
Don’t turn away when you see your partners own version of ugly.
Don’t turn away from their flaws and imperfections.
Natalia Figueredo
When you find a love that lasts, don’t expect it to be a fairytale.
Don’t expect to be made up of magic.
It isnt a fairytale or a perfect picture.
Love is a damn mountain to climb followed by another mountain.
Its not a walk in the park.
Love is a fight.
Natalia Figueredo
Its an ongoing series of questions.
Its never straightforward or simple.
Its never plain sailing.
Because real love is a challenge.
When love is true, its full of complications and mishaps.
Its full of turbulence.
No, youre going to work, youre juggling your social life and your friendships and your relationship.
Youre dealing with stress, with your mental health, and with your future.
Love isnt just two people, arm in arm, breezing through life together walking off into the sunset.
We dont live in a fairytale.
We live in the real world.
In a world where people fuck up.
We live in a world where arguments turn to silence.
We live in a world with war and violence and chaos.
We live in a world full of temptation, full of loss and grief and betrayal.
The world we live in makes love that much harder.
You have to think about them through all the questions that you face.
And sometimes you have to put them before you.
And sometimes they will put themselves before you.
Sometimes youll try so hard and youll fight so hard, and they wont return the favor.
Sometimes, they will beg for you and you have to let them go.
Sometimes the distance will kill your relationship.
And sometimes, another person will come between you.
And that doesnt mean that your love wasnt amazing.
It doesnt mean that the relationship and the bond you had was a failure.
It just means that it wasnt meant to last.
Some loves will grow old and boring and the fall out will be seamless.
Most of the time, love will end in an abupt battle.
It will end in tears and in heartache.
It will end in shattered hearts.
So when you find a love that lasts, dont give up.
Dont turn away when you see your partners own version of ugly.
Dont turn away from their flaws and imperfections.
When you find a love that lasts, dont expect it to be a fairytale.
Dont expect to be made up of magic.
But dont let that stop you from falling.
Its overwhelming and scary and incredibly dark.
So when you find the love of your life, dont let go.
When you find the kind of love that is real, dont let life knock it down.
Dont let life destroy it.
