As I travel on this journey with my partner P. I realize that REAL love is better than any dream. This has not been the easiest road to travel.
True Love is not a make-believe story where two people meet, their life is perfect, and they live happily-ever-after. Well, they CAN live happily every after. Only after overcoming obstacles together.
The passion it takes to create life cannot necessarily sustain a stable union.
We are human.
Real love comes from compassion.
True Love flourishes from holding on when everyone else lets go.
True love teaches us valuable lessons of self-reflection like a mirror. Sometime we suffer, sacrifice, and do so in silence but we also learn, grow, and evolve.
When love is real - it is RAW. You will feel every emotion to the core of your being - every emotion has deeper meaning: hate, anger, resentment, bitterness, regret, loss, frustration - this is the beginning of an emotional cleansing. A catharsis of the soul. You cannot build upon residual negativity. Our thoughts too must be purified. More to come...
“Love is not idealization. A true Lover knows that if you really love a woman or a man, that you do not idealize him or her. Love means that you accept a person, with all his/her failures, stupidities, ugly points and nonetheless the person is absolute for you, everything that makes life worth living, that you see perfection in imperfection itself. And that is how we should learn to love the world.”
~Slavoj Zizek (Slovenian philosopher)
