If you love someone because they love you, that is empathy. If you love someone for their beauty, that is attraction. If you love someone for what they offer, that is interest.
If you love someone for their kindness, that is admiration. But when you cannot fully explain why you love them, only that your heart does, that is love.
How to keep a relationship:
Be honest.
Build trusts.
leave the past.
Communicate.
Appreciate flaws.
Become best friends.
Be there for one another.
Talk about good and bad.
Make time for one another.
You won't always be happy.
Having arguments are normal.
Love each other unconditionally.

Everybody wants to be in a relationship for years but everybody is not ready for the the bad days, the crying, arguments, communication going wrong. Relationships aren’t fairytales & it’s not easy. If you love each other, you have to stay solid through it all and make it work.
My previous relationship taught me that I am not always right. I learned more about that you cannot love someone on your own terms but on theirs. You have to learn who they are with their love language, their attachment style, their needs, their unspoken fears. Love is not a one size fits all emotion.
I also learned to look inward. I am flawed. I carried wounds too, and I have reacted from those wounds too and have had to heal from them. Working on myself is not a betrayal of who I am it is the only way I can show up without bleeding on someone who did not cut me.
Most importantly, I learned that two flawed people can weather the storm together. Not by avoiding conflict, but by facing it with the same team spirit. I learned to give grace not as a pass for bad behaviour, but as room for a human being to grow. I learned that time and space are not rejections sometimes they are the oxygen a struggling person needs to breathe. I learnt more about forgiveness, patience and tolerance. Also I learnt sometimes it's good to let go 🖤
there’s nothing more romantic than someone choosing to learn you. flipping the pages in your soul delicately and digesting your chapters with an open mind no matter how difficult or uncomfortable some of your moments read, treating each bookmark with no judgment, but pure love. ❤
Soy lo suficientemente madura para admitir que a veces soy una persona difícil. Sobrepienso todo, actúo con impulsividad y puedo ser complicada de entender. Soy sensible a otro nivel y necesito paciencia, pero también sé que mi amor no se compara con el de nadie.
A relationship where we both realize that none of us are easy to be with, but we are willing to stay committed to understanding each other and also intentional about growing with each other.
A relationship where we both try,
and are both present.
i want to be your best friend. the person you tell first when you have exciting news, the one you lean on when you feel lost, the one you laugh uncontrollably with about things that aren’t even that funny, the one you’re texting when you should be sleeping, the one you trust with your deepest secrets, the one you feel free to be stupid with, the one with whom you share every inch of your soul. i want to know you like i know myself.
