"It's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be hard and we are gonna have to work at this everyday. But I'm gonna do tat because I want you"
Isn't it entirely true? Movies and romance books have painted a completely different picture of love for all of us, leading to high hopes and bigger disappointments.
We wall want love to walk towards us in slow motions, tiptoe on our heads like summer drizzle and leave us wrapped in the blanket of hopeless dreams.
But, it turns out that being with someone is an acquired skill. And, in a way, a strange kind of beauty.
Basically, u have to watch your partner take a chisel or a strong hammer, simply depending on the day, and chop away the ideal version of them that you have created in your mind.
The person u fall in luv with is always quite different from the person you need to stay in love with. More real and more flawed, but also more complex and more defined.
While falling in love might look all rosy and beautiful, it's staying in love that takes all the effort. It is a never-ending journey, a process where you learn to love the ugly parts too. Sometimes, everything might feel a bit overwhelming, u might want to give up, but that is the moment you need to hold on a little lighter and a little longer.
Because staying in love is a struggle l, a beautiful struggle, and while it's not like what they show in the movies, it is quite unnecessary think to stay alive.❤️
