True Love... what is that? What makes the difference between true and not so true Love? When I was younger and in Love my parents used to tell me "Oh, your young. You don't know what true Love is" However, as I got older the feelings haven't changed much. I've fallen in and out of Love a few times in my life. There are still those that I am no longer with but still could honestly say that I still Love them. The feelings are always there but certain circumstances are the reason we're not together. Loving someone for me was never an issue. The issue stands in being able to find someone who Loves you back in the same way. Someone who can support you like you support them.
I honestly take a look at the world around me and cannot think of one good example of "True Love" Not one example of the fairy tale, story book romance that everyone is inclined to believe exists in this life. Honestly take a look around at the couples around you. Can you name one example of a perfect couple?
What I'm really trying to get at is so many people try to hold relationships up to an impossible standard. Now I'm not saying that anyone should ever accept less than what they deserve. What I'm saying is, so many people try to fit their relationship into a tiny little box of what they think it is supposed to be instead of letting it grow into what it actually is.
No matter how head over heals you are for someone, there are always flaws. There is always something that doesn't fit quite right and you are so busy trying to get what you think you want you ignore the flaw. You tell yourself that the flaw isn't important and that it doesn't bother you because there are so many other great things about that person. But then time goes by, and you realise that slowly over time those flaws that you ignored are slowly chipping away at you. You find that you've been hiding your flaws from them and in turn hiding yourself from them and vis versa. Eventually things come out and you realise that neither of you were ever truly yourselves for that other person. Nothing can be Loved until its known.
Now this happens all the time. Your with someone for a long period of time and you start to realise that your not really in Love with them any more. That they don't really give you the same kind of joy that they once did. This is where your next mistake comes in. You decide to stay with that person. Work things out, and try to regain the happiness that was lost. Unfortunately, it almost NEVER works out and you just waste more time being unhappy and being with someone you hate when you could have been looking for someone to bring back the joy.
Back to the original point though.
I believe that "True Love" is something that has no real definition
I believe that it is possible to fall in and out of Love several time throughout life.
I believe that its ridiculous to believe that there is only one true Love for anyone in the world.
I believe that staying with someone out of convenience instead of Love is most peoples biggest mistake.
I believe that you can't have Love without Hate
I believe that anyone has the ability to fall out of Love, if the circumstances present themselves.
I beg to differ but what I believe is that it's not true love if you can easily fall out of it. Then it's just love / like. Also, I believe that a relationship between 2 people doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be true. Frankly speaking, if everything is perfect and there are no flaws then eventually you will get bored, for sure.
