As I was growing up I believed in fairy tales, I hoped that one day I would meet prince charming and that we would live together happily ever after. As time went on I realized that maybe fairy tales weren't true. I lost hope in love because for some reason I didn't believe in it, well that is until my fairytale started.
It wasn't like you see in the movies; it wasn't love at first sight. At the beginning, it didn't even seem like love. When I first saw him, I didn't feel butterflies in my stomach; I was just interested. Little did I know that that warm July night I would meet the guy who would show me what love is.
Everyone has this idea of love as something perfect. People believe that when you meet someone and you love them, everything is rainbows and flowers and colorful and to tell you the truth, it isn't. At the beginning, of course, everything seems like that. Every beginning of a relationship has that "Honeymoon stage" and it's normal. It's also good to feel like that because that is how a relationship should start. It's so nice to feel that romantic and to be cheesy around each other because it is what makes everything fall into place at the end.
As the relationship progresses, things don't get easier at all. Yes, the love gets so much stronger however that also comes with fights, even childish ones sometimes. However, that is also okay because it is a part of being in a relationship. As the relationship matures, you also start to mature with it. You start to see that when you love someone deeply you love them no matter what. Even if you get mad over something you won't stop loving them, and if you do then that's a problem. As cheesy as this may sound, being in love means loving that other person more than you love yourself. It means sometimes choosing that person's happiness over yours, it means giving them your heart. Yes, it means risking a lot and you could loose everything however it's one of the most beautiful things that anyone could ever experience. Love can sometimes hurt but nobody said it was easy. However, once you find that right person to love everything is worth it.
I consider myself very lucky, I fell in love with the prince charming that I always dreamed of. Thanks to him I know what it means to love. I wouldn't want it any other way, 15 months later here I am talking about how great love is, all because of him. After all the best advice I could give anyone is find the right guy or at least try to. Sometimes I know it won't work out that way but before giving your heart to someone make sure it is in the right hands. Love for some people might not be as beautiful as it is for me so please choose carefully who you love so that you have a lesser chance of experiencing the heartbreak that comes after it.
