Just a thought... Being in a relationship means you need to be brave...

Be brave, being in a relationship today, means being big enough and honest enough to realize that who ever you are with, will have faults, and you will have to accept those faults. And in return, that person will have to accept that you have faults too and will have to accept them too… and possibly the most difficult of all, you are going to have to look at your self honestly, admit to your faults and then work at them and compromise so that you become someone that the person you love can live with… As difficult and hard and tiresome as this sounds, don’t you think that’s the point, to find our humanity through love, and to be made the best possible version of who we can be, and them the best possible version of who they can be, by choosing to share our life by loving another human being… it is the most difficult, challenging, selfish and selfless thing we can do… and yet life without love, is a life not lived at all.


At the end of the day, putting the other persons need above your own, even when you really don't want to, compromising, putting up with each others crap, fighting, forgiving, laughing, comforting, being 'in love', to 'not being your favorite person at the moment' and not leaving, choosing ‘this life’ because you know that at the end of the day that person makes you the best version of you, you can be and you do the same for them... a relationship that lasts, that goes the distance, is so rare and fragile and requires a large amount of bravery, but That Is True Love... and that Is a Big Deal.
