some great entry someone's xanga:
Relationships.
They are wonderful at the beginning. However, once it hits past the 6th month honeymoon stage (if it even lasts that long), our true personalities start to unfold and we inevitably reveal, our... ugly side. This includes our bad habits, our dislikes about their bad habits, our insecurities, our dislikes about their bad habits again, etc. The fighting starts. The arguments continue. It's about about the same things. Then there is make up time. It's all lovely dovely. He's the best boyfriend in the world. Then the fighting begins again. It's about the same things. You see where I'm going with this. It's an unforgivable cycle. However, here comes my key point. My psychology teacher once told me, "Love is a decision." It is. You ultimately decide who to love. Sometimes love doesn't always come with butterflies in your stomach, movie/storybook romances, perfect partners who knows exactly what you want when you want it or even happily ever endings. No, love is a working relationship. It's giving and it's taking. It's listening and learning. It's understanding. It's complicated and frustrating and even maddening at times. But it's forgivable. It's like writing a paper. You can always work towards making it better and clearer, stronger, more supportive, etc. All in all, LOVE is a decision. YOU decide who you choose to love and how much you want to put into loving that person or even how long. Deciding is the easy part. Sticking to it can get hard. Love is complicated. Relationships. Tthey are always wonderful at the beginning.
