Thoughts on Love

It’s amazing how hard it is to be in love. Love is this great mystery and yet we all act like we have it all figured out. Maybe it’s like the movies, where everything falls into place and yes, you have your hard times, but in the end… you have that happy ending. You go on to live happily ever after. Living out the rest of your days with “the one”.

However, those of us in reality know this to be a hoax, a fantasy that is far out of reach. Prince Charming doesn’t exist. The Perfect Girl is a fairy tale and no matter how hard you look or how long you wait, you will never find your soul mate.

I think they are both wrong. Don’t get me wrong, they are all very romantic and beautifully orchestrated to pluck at our heart strings. I believe there is someone out there, someone designed for you, to match up perfectly with all your imperfections. Someone who can realize your flaws and struggles and take the time to look deeper to where you truly are, someone who is just as broken from the gauntlet of life as you are. They need help standing just as much as you. Love is not a Mystery. That person needs what is hardest for you to give, and you gotta learn how to give that. It’s not rocket surgery. It is hard work, to the point where at times it may not seem worth it. But in the end, you don’t get a price charming or a perfect ending. You get a person, who is as lost and clueless as you. However, that clueless, lost, broken person cares more deeply for you than anyone ever could.  If they realize this, then they will fight tooth and nail to make it work. I intend to. The Question is…do you? Do you have what it takes to be what they need you to be? Do you have the strength to stop thinking too much and reading into nothing so you can enjoy learning and growing and loving together? I hope so…because it’s the most amazing feeling of all time.
