Love Is Hard Y’all

I don’t know if you’ve ever felt this way, but I know that a percent of the population has felt it. Many are left skeptical of these chosen few, but many others seek to feel the same thing. I’m talking about love. Oh love. Tis the tender heart that is awestruck by the sight of my fair lady (Cheesy). It might be hard to imagine, but I was once this lad who has been bitten by the bug. I know. Crazy, right? I don’t know what it is. It might be all the dopamine and other chemicals rushing to my brain. Maybe it’s an unexplainable phenomena that will never receive an answer. It just makes me feel jittery inside, and I can never wait to see the other person again. It’s like waiting for your next encounter almost kills you. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. Out of all of the couples out there, almost all of them probably feel the same thing, at the least for the first few months of their relationship and at the most for their entire lives together, which is incredibly beautiful. Sometime in the middle of these relationships, when they truly feel in love with their significant other, they get married. I think that marriage is what embodies the true love that couples have for each other, or at least it should be the embodiment of true love. Some people really just jump the gun with marriage, which I think can be a huge gamble. It becomes 50-50. Those chances aren’t very good. But there are a few who ultimately win in the end. Only time is the true test of any relationship out there in my opinion. Kinda like investing in a volatile mutual fund, hedge fund, or stock in a sense. All the ups and downs in between. What makes love so hard is the fact that we tend to over think the small things when we are in love. We also look only at the positives of a relationship and not the red flags when we are infatuated, which is why we need second opinions during our disoriented and confused states. And once we leave infatuation, all of these red flags hit us like a brick. But when a couple passes these tests, what comes out of it is like a magnificent unicorn coming out of a well made out of rainbows and friendship (Hehe). And the more that it develops, the stronger it gets, which I applaud to those people who have made it thus far.

So, to all of the people who got married recently, especially to my cousin and his newly wedded wife, congratulations to you. May your lives together be continually filled with joy and happiness, and may you have a wonderful future together. Oh, and good luck to all of the struggling couples out there. Make your relationship count. Learn from it. Grow from it. And maybe find your life partner out of it.
