2. It doesn’t look like you imagined it would, or they don’t look like you pictured they might. It’s not uncommon to end up more in love with the people who you least expect you’d want. You can have a relationship with someone who you don’t share a multitude of interests with. You just have to be interested in each other, and waiting to find someone who checks off all of the boxes that you thinkyou want stifles you from finding somebody who is actually right for you. Your rejecting them for arbitrary things says a lot more about you than it does about them.
3. It’s not all jello legs and fireworks all the time. Hot tip: it’s not supposed to be! That shit fades, and it fades fast. Your body can only sustain a rush of hormones and chemicals for so long. When it inevitably subsides, you realize it will always come back down to whether you just appreciate them as a person, and want them around even if the romantic element of the relationship isn’t consuming you all the time.
4. Arguments about things that obviously don’t matter, like chores, or dinner plans, or that friend of yours that they dislike. They are small things that become big when you import your ego into it, and then you’re not even fighting about the little things, but rather picking at each other like vultures. You have to sacrifice needing to be right all the time. You have to give up on the things that don’t matter as much as the other person does to you.
