As a mere result of today’s society and the uproar of social media, the modern perception of love has been relatively distorted, thus portrayed in an unrealistic manner that clings to ideas of poor fashion.
When I think about love, I think of my grandparents- a surviving love that remains at a steady rate- unconditional, even to this day.
Genuine and pure.
And I firmly believe with every ounce of my being, that a love like that is still present in our ever-changing world.
But only if we’re open to it. Only if we’re willing to accept it and embrace it for what it is worth.
Prior to coming to my senses, I held this misconception that love was supposed to be a challenge- I leaned towards the cliché phrase “what’s worth it doesn’t come easy.” And sure, maybe that is an applicable way of thinking for the couple who’s been married twenty years- struggles are inevitable and effort is indispensable, of course.
But for me, and for every other young woman with the world at her fingertips and the nice guy knocking at her door, love is not supposed to be hard.
Life alone comes with enough unpredictability- the guy you give your heart to should be nothing short of what you deserve, but rather everything you could ever hope for.
You deserve the nice guy.
The one who sincerely and selflessly takes care of you, both physically and mentally.
The one who never gives up on you, but instead remains hopeful and persistent.
You deserve your door opened- by the guy who looks at you like you put the stars in the sky.
You deserve the understanding and compassionate guy with a kind heart and sweet spirit, whose intentions are clear as day.
The one who appreciates you for exactly who you are and wants the very best for you, day in and day out.
You deserve to be taken out to lunch on an ordinary Monday by an extraordinary guy.
You deserve the hand that’s gentle enough to protect but strong enough to provide.
The one who brings you get ice cream even when it’s cold outside- and when you say you only want one scoop, he knows you really mean two.
You deserve reassurance, boundless laughter, and limitless encouragement from the guy who supports you in all that you do.
The guy who makes you believe that love is easy. Because really, it’s supposed to be.
It should be natural- love isn’t demanding.
I promise you, he’s out there. You will never be more grateful for clarity- there will be no doubts.
And never forget that you are, indeed, so deserving of every bit of respect he will so effortlessly show you.
Old love exists even in a new generation- smart girls settle for only the nice guys!
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, 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 perseveres.Love never fails."
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
