I think perhaps love should be more pragmatic than that.
Its finding someone who wants to struggle with you because they choose to.
Why do we love who we love?

Why is it such a beautiful yet hard thing to maintain?
The concept of commitment and how two lovers evolve and still take a stab at make it work.
The idea of choice when it comes to love.
The truth is I used to think that love was this feeling that swept you off your feet.
I was a sucker for details, and my lover was my drug.
They were my muse.
They were in every corner of my imagination.
It was all a very dreamy experience.
I think perhaps love should be more pragmatic than that.
Its finding someone who wants to struggle with you because they choose to.
They embody love as an action.
They understand the importance of nourishing that love.
Feelings are fleetingthey fluctuate and they are not reliable.
When we love, we think were going to love that person forever.
Its what builds that love up.
Its where the real substance is.
Its love put into action and the calm of having a real friend.
Its the beauty of being loved through simple moments by simply showing up.
We should be careful what we place our values on.
When the noise actually tones down, what do you actually have?
What do you give?
Are you actually experiencing a mutually loving relationship?
