Being in an out of a relationship for the last two years now has taught me so much more about not only myself but about the other person and love than I ever thought it could.
Growing up, I always had the idea of meeting someone, getting married, and having kids typical life that you think of when you think of your future, for some people anyway. But when I got to college and it didn't happen right away, I didn't know what was wrong with me, that was until I met him. He quickly became one of my best friends and soon the love of my life, before I even knew what was happening we were in a serious relationship and I realized that I love him and I couldn't have been happier.
To this day I don't see my life with anybody but him and I wouldn't have it any other way, no matter the things that we've been through we always seem to find it to the other side. Things are different now, it's been almost 2 years and we've both been through a lot, but somehow, there's always been a happy ending. So what has being in love really taught me in the last 2 years?
About Myself:
Being in love has taught me that regardless of if I have someone by my side, I need to love myself first, no matter what. Being in love has taught me that I am important and that I am loved. It has taught me that I can me by myself and be happy and that as great as it is to have someone by my side, it is not necessary all the time.
Being in love has also taught me that I can't always get my way, no matter how much I wish I could, sometimes in a relationship you need to be able to not only do what you want or need but also be open and willing to be able to be open and willing to do what the other person wants as well. Throughout my two years relationship, I have learned these things and much more and it has taught me so much about myself, as well as how I should be in a relationship.
About Love:
Before I fell in love, I thought I knew all about it. I thought that I didn't need to learn anything and that when it happened, it would be easy and carefree, but I was wrong. When I fell in love, everything changed. I learned that it isn't easy and that it isn't carefree, and that it takes so much more work than I ever thought.
Every single day I put in work to keep the love that I have created. I wake up every morning, knowing that someone is in love with me, and not only does that make me smile and keep me going throughout my day, but it also reminds me that I love that person too, regardless of everything and that I would do anything to keep that, so I put in the work, every day for it.
Being in love has taught me so much, and as much as I don't need it to be happy, it is one thing that I have found that keeps me sane and happy and I don't know what I would do without some kind of love in my life.
