5 things about LOVE

1. Most of your fights are living proof of your immaturity. 

The sooner you grow up, the happier you will be. People used to laugh at the things we used to fight about. Looking back, I feel like laughing too. Those things weren't worth it. Others have bigger problems that are more real. Some of our problems were just a joke and a waste of time.

2. Give up all hope of being perfectly understood. 

No one can understand you better than yourself. Not everyone is perfect. There are a few rare people who will completely understand you without you having to say anything. But having this expectation only creates issues.

3. Do not hold grudges. 

They will only come back to haunt you and make your partner's life miserable. NEVER bring up old fights or old issues to serve as proof in a current situation. That will only make matters worse. Once an issue has been talked about, let it go. Never bring it up again. I used to hold a lot of grudges but I've learned to let go over the years. I come from a very forgiving family. I've never seen my dad hold a grudge against anybody.. It is easier to let go rather than holding onto things from the past.

In love, when nobody's keeping score, it's a lot more fun.

4. I am ME. I am not perfect, and I never will be. But most importantly, I am myself and I should be accepted that way.

This is probably the super glue holding us together. We can both be our silly selves without feeling embarrassed. The amount of comfort we have is as if we've been married for a couple of years. At first, we picked a lot of flaws out of each other but soon we figured, it's easier to embrace each other the way we are rather than magnifying our imperfections. I am very unapologetic about the way I am. That's why I lose people and remain absolutely okay with it. I am not gonna stop being myself for people who don't like it. Not a fan of putting up a facade.

5. Nothing is more important than love.

Finding yourself in a love-less relationship is like finding yourself at the gates of hell. You may have a great friendship that keeps you going but if there isn't love, then....?

Even during moments when you HATE each other (which, we do) you can still reach down a little further and find that love. If you can manage to find someone with which to share your life who makes you smile more than he makes you cry - he's a keeper. I have cried a lot but I've smiled more than I've cried. And that counts more.
