We've been tricked into over-idealizing romantic relationships to the point where people think it's just the initial feeling that's love.
But it's the work. It's being there for each other when it's hard. It's consistency. It's a choice.
It is hard to watch people get burned by applying hedonistic fallacies to something that could be flawless and perfect. It's all up to us.
I believe now that all we give is all we can ever keep.
