I have to rant about how I feel about LOVE.
I feel like everyone has the ridiculous, romaticized idea of love in their tiny little brains, and I find it...really irritating. Like, yeah, it's great to sit through a movie and watch two people act like total morons, and you laugh, and are glad when they get together in the end in 'happily ever after', and then you walk out of the theater back into real life.
And real life is not the hollywood version they constantly shove down our throats. How many times do you watch a chick flick and watch the crazy antics, and they way the speak to each other, and no matter how bad the betrayal they always manage to forgive each other and fall in love forever.
That's not real life. You can't completely lie to someone over and over and expect forgiveness so easily, same with cheating, and bursting in on moments, and all sorts of terrible things.
I think a lot of people forget that relationships take WORK. They're not perfect even half the time. You're with a totally different person with opposite ideas and opinions and who sees the world in a different way than you. And sure, you can try and mold yourself into what they want, and abandon your beliefs and adopt theirs, but that only works for so long.
And love doesn't suddenly make your life right. Sure it's nice to have a person you can talk to at the end ofthe night, and who has got your back (or so you think), but all of the sudden your life wishes don't come true. Life is a bitch, and it is hard, and being with another person doesn't suddenly make it right.
You have to work every fucking day to make things good, and sometimes it doensn't even feel like work. Somedays you wake up and look at the person drooling next you and think, 'yeah, this is great,' and other times you are completely frusterated, trying to talk to another person, wondering why they would say that, why they think that, how could they wash your brand new shirts with your red underwear in hot water, etc etc.
I'm just tired of people telling me that if you're not in that blissfull feeling you feel when you first meet a person then it's not right. Love isn't a damn disney movie.
