This representation couldnt be farther from reality.
Its a misconception saturated in delusion; oozing with an abundance of childlike oblivion.
Especially during a time when hatred is a staple in our society and equality is a foreign concept.

Every individual has their opinion of what an ideal relationship is supposed to look like.
This representation couldnt be farther from reality.
The truth is, relationships can often feel like an endless roller coaster; both chaotic and dizzying.

But its within that ideology where we make the mistake.
There is no such thing as a perfect relationship.
It is an urban myth as old as time itself.My boyfriend always says, love is a choice.
Odd, I know.
It took me awhile to understand the weight of that quote.
I remember hearing the phrase and mentally rolling my eyes.
Its the stage when the butterflies vanish and the true nature of the relationship begins to surface.
Aka, the desolation of the honeymoon phase.
Ultimately, youre faced with a burdening question.
But what do I know?
When it comes to relationships, my outlook on the subject has always remained tainted.
I guess I can thank my parents divorce for that brutal reality.
Throughout the almost two years weve been together, Ive learned a lot.
So heres what I do know.
Relationships arent always easy.
In fact, theyre fucking hard and anyone who says otherwise is either lying or in complete denial.
There are moments when you want to scream and say things you probably shouldnt.
Situations when you become so frustrated, you want to walk away and never look back.
But those moments are just a smaller portion of a significantly larger portrait.
We are a team and whatever challenges we face, we face them together.
Every couple has their issues.
After all, relationships werent manufactured to be perfect.
But its within the imperfections where the beauty truly lies.
To love someone, really, truly love someone, requires a certain amount of compromise and patience.
Give it all youve got and fight like hell to make it work.
