With the right person, love is effortless and you dont have to try too hard.

When I was younger, I thought it was romantic to fight for someones affection.

I was confident that the harder I try, the closer I was to moving an unemotional heart.

All I wanted was to be with them and I thought they would eventually feel the same way.

That couldnt be further from the truth.

The fact is that love isnt supposed to be this difficult.

The reality was that I didnt believe I deserved love.

I didnt believe that I was good enough for someone to choose me.

I didnt believe I deserved to be someones priority, their first and only choice.

I didnt stand up for myself for how I was treated.

I didnt love myself more to walk away the moment the relationship turned toxic.

What I learned is that while I cannot change them but I can control my actions.

I cannot change their mind about me but I can choose a wholehearted love.

A relationship requires mutual effort.

The right person will love you the way you deserve to.

Theyre flawed and imperfect but they will always strive to give you the best they have.

Love with them is not perfect yet it will feel so right.

There is comfortable silence when both of you are together.

There is open communication instead of game and deceit.

Youre keen to do life with them.

Love allows you to embrace yourself.

It inspires you to grow to a better version of yourself.
