Everyone wants a long-term relationship, but don't realize it comes with arguments, boring days, days you barely talk to each other, days you feel like you just wanna give up. But you forgive and make it work out.
Things aren't always gonna be easy but holding it down for that one special person you want forever with, will all be worth it in the end.
I want to text you all the time and see how you're doing, but I know I can't because deep down I know it won't change anything. It sucks because I thought things were going so well, but then one day came and everything changed and now I'm up at 2 am wondering how and why everything went wrong and what I did. Why I wasn't good enough for you. I find myself looking at old texts and pictures and I remember how happy I was and how happy we were. And all I can do is question how I ended up here, without you.
I finally figured out that true love isn't about the high, the butterflies, or the easy moments.
It's about choosing someone even when it's hard, when the spark fades, when life gets tough, when you're not feeling it, but you still show up. That's real love.
And if you walk away just because it gets hard, you'll never know how beautiful it could ve been when you chose to stay and build something stronger.
Erkekler sevilmeyi ve değer görmeyi genellikle "ne sağlayabildikleriyle" doğru orantılı görürler. "Ben sadece ben olduğum için sevilmeye layık mıyım?" sorusunu kendilerine sormaya korkarlar. Bu yüzden cebi boşaldığında ya da kariyeri kötüye gittiğinde partnerinden, arkadaşlarından ve sosyal hayattan tamamen uzaklaşır, içine kapanır. Çünkü kafasındaki koda göre: "Başarısız bir erkek, sevilmeyi hak etmez."
i think long-term stress changes people quietly. you become less expressive, less excited, more tired, more detached, until one day you barely recognize the version of yourself that existed before survival mode.
