One person cannot be your absolute everything. If you believe that you will be miserable for a long time. You need to be in love with the rest of your life as you are with them. Invest in those around you, who act as your community in affirming you everyday. Relationship balance is being as happy as you are in it, as you can be out of it.
Movies sounds nice, but they are not real. And this is coming from someone who seeks comfort in the predicable romantic comedy. However, "Find someone who loves you just as you are.- Bridget Jones." There is a danger in that. Yes, you should never change your core or beliefs but think about your family or your best friend, they test you and fight you everyday. They demand and encourage the best as you do them.
"Love means never having to say your sorry.- Love Story." I call BS. Everyone is wrong 50% of the time. Accept it. Get used to the fact that people can hurt each other even when they don't mean to. It doesn't mean there isn't love there of even that we are bad people ( For some D-bags, it does, you know who you are. ) Not when there wasn't intent behind it. Selfishness and inconsideration unfortunately happens sometimes when we are comfortable or take those for granted, even the ones we love most. Compassion and empathy is the key. Seeing different perspectives and learning and growing. Try creating an awareness of why we behave or feel in certain ways. It will not only help you to realize and understand others and their actions but it is the first step to changing. Awareness leads to change. Never stop being aware.
Life and love can happen in the blink of an eye. Cliche, but it is true. Notice where you are in life right now and one day there will be a moment of clarity where it makes sense. I believe love comes in many different ways and at different times. I just don't want to ever loose focus on the fact that we all have it around us and it starts with making yourself a better person everyday.
