<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
One of the most common woes of modern day and of the days far gone – love. Be it unrequited or mutual; love is one of the few feelings – if not the feeling – which ends up hurting you in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n We have all seen it in movies and heard about it in songs; how love is that burning desire that rips out your heart, boils the blood, and just about takes to an abyss and the world comes crashing down around us. <\/span><\/p>\n Where everyone around us is a little too cheery, the songs make sense again, the world is bright and colorful; where your significant other just about can predict where you are or what you want, or can read your mind about what you want them to do. <\/span><\/p>\n In short, everything is picture perfect; and let’s not forget the before credits slogan, ‘and they all lived happily ever after.’<\/span><\/p>\n The problem in today’s world is that our young love birds have taken the movies and fairy tales a bit too to heart, and they believe or are waiting for that earth-shattering feeling to come to the surface. <\/span><\/p>\n Modern love birds think that they can somehow get to the level of comfort or intimacy like they see the lead couples in the movies perform within a short amount of time.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n What they do not realize is that the love stories in the movies are designed to stay within the time limit of the given estimated time, i.e. 2 or 2 and a half hours. Therefore, modern love birds are quick to act and simultaneously giving up on love, and they do the next on-trend thing, they post heartbreaking quotes on social media and try to move on.<\/span><\/p>\n So, at the essence of it all,<\/span> what is true love?<\/span><\/a> Is it all an illusion? Can we never feel or experience true love? Is it just for the movies? Or should we stand in the line of all giving up on love and do the same? Should we say adieu and follow the ones who are all about giving up on dating and relationships?<\/span><\/p>\n One thing that is noticed and is pretty commonly portrayed is the wrong concept of love. <\/span><\/p>\n In the movies, when a couple falls in love, they get intimate, sing songs, go on dates, get married, have slim to none fights or arguments, and then the slogan of, ‘and they lived happily ever after’ hits our screens. However, as mentioned before, a real-life relationship is far from perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n It takes work, kindness, patience, sacrifice, compromise, and a whole lot of balance; giving up on love is definitely not the way to go. Sometimes you have to stand the storm and be the bad guy when you did nothing wrong because what is more important; being right or being with the one who holds your heart? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Reality is too different<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/span>Understanding love in reality<\/span><\/h2>\n
