Disney Lies

Maybe I was wrong. Obviously I'm confused. We were told lies as children. Relationships are not like fairy tales...at all. When you tell someone "I love you", you're supposed to mean it with the most sincerity, compassion, and loyalty you possess. Or so I thought. From my observations and experiences with relationships I have found that Disney was far from reality. Now I knew that a relationship was not going to be like in the fairy tales, but I thought there was at least a kernel of truth in the stories I loved as a little girl. There's not. The happily ever after is not so happy after all. My divorced mother can be a witness for that. The fights, quarrels, the unstable foundation upon which their relationship was founded on. When you love someone, you should be happy with them and not go looking else where. When you love someone, you should know exactly what the answer is when another presents you with temptations. When you love someone, you should love them for who they are, not what they are. Why is it so hard? Some people cannot grasp this concept of love. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves." - I Corinthians 13:4-7 Even if you are not a Christian or don't believe in the Bible, there is a lot of wisdom in that quote. The "puppy love" that many possess cannot stand to this definition of love-the real love. No relationship is going perfect, there are going to be tough times; i know that. I will keep on loving people with the same amount of passion and support that I have been, even though it's exhausting and may sometimes seem pointless, because I know that's the way to do it. Give your all, even if it might destroy you.
