It’s about finding something real

"Love is not searching for a flawless person, but embracing your mess, another’s mess, and the beautiful mess you can make together."⠀
⠀
See, we think that we’re supposed to find a ‘perfect’ person, that we’re supposed to fall in this ‘happily-ever-after’ love that never lets us question or doubt. We think that one day we’ll fall into love and it will be everything we ever asked for. And in some ways it will, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be easy.⠀
⠀
Yes, we’ll find love. Yes, it will be incredible and completely rock our world. Yes, it will show us what we’ve been missing and searching for all this time. But it will be challenging.⠀
⠀
It will be learning to love someone who is just as frustrating and stubborn and selfish as we are. It will be accepting them for who they are, pushing to become better together, and finding ways to love one another, even when the world gets complicated.⠀
⠀
Love isn’t meant to be simple. People aren’t meant to be easy. We’re supposed to have problems and obstacles and moments of discovery—because this is the purpose of life—to be forever growing. And when we find someone to grow with, we have to remember that it’s not about having this fairytale connection.⠀
