Love Journey

A good relationship isn't a game you play or an ego trip you take.
It is about love and two people.
Loving someone can give us the greatest joy we can ever know
and it can hurt more than we can believe too.
When it does not really hurt when that person did something disappointing to you,
but really hurts when you see that person in pain and sadness,
then you know you truly love that person.
Loving someone means you should be ready to experience
heartache and happiness at the same time.
That's the reward and that's the risk.
Unless we are willing to experience it,
we will never really know what it's like to love and be loved.
Sharing love is probably the most valuable and
meaningful experience a person can ever have.
And there's a difference between being in love with someone and loving someone.
It's the difference between a love that's fickle,wild and short-lived
and one that's tender and passionate,nurturing and lasts a long time.
The first is easy. The second, the one that really matters to all of us,takes work because it's about keeping a relationship.
Loving someone takes efforts.
We have to be able to communicate with each other.
Nobody can read anyone else's mind.
We always presume that our partner knows what we think and feel.
Maybe in time we might be able to predict or sense each other's thoughts
but it's never perfect and takes time to develop.
Getting the chance to love and be loved by someone is blessed.
Respect him/her for who he/she is, and not what you want him/her to be.
Everyone is pretty and special in his/her own special way.
No one is perfect. It is true love which closes the gap of imperfectness to form a smooth surface of acceptance for each other.
True love sees and accepts a person for who he/she is.
It is also true love which makes a person change for the better.
The power of true love to a person is undeniable.
A relationship needs commitments too.
What is love without commitments from each other anyway?
It's like principles and values.
Everyone has them but they only mean as much as we are willing to stand for them.
The same goes for our commitments to relationships, and the person we love.
"Love is like an antique vase. It's hard to find, hard to net, but easy to break."
There is a difference between being in love with someone and loving someone.
If a person says he/she is in love with you, he/she means that he/she likes you for who you are now and he/she fell in love with you because of the present you.
This kind of love is temporary and lasts only as long as the fairytale lasts.
When fairy godmother comes in at midnight to whirl us back to reality, we see the heartache of such a relationship...
where both were only IN love with each other.
But if a person says he/she loves you, he/she means that he/she loves you unconditionally for who you are now, who you were in the past and who you might be in the future.
When he/she says he/she loves you and really means it,
you have to ask yourself if you love him/her too or if you're in love with the idea of being in love. It is very hard to see the difference through logical thinking.
Let your heart guide u.
