Sometimes I worry when I see “romantic” nonsense circling about the interwebz, especially when the ideas are as toxic as what I’ve been seeing lately. Words that boast of love being about having each other memorized and being able to read the other person’s mind. In theory, I guess I can see how the idea that the one you love knows you so well that you don’t even have to speak for them to know what’s in your mind, or in your heart, but in reality that’s the least romantic thing I can think of, not to mention an insane notion to base “true love” on.
True love is a choice, in fact, it’s a series of choices. It doesn’t magically fall into your arms, and it isn’t easy.
The basis of a good relationship is communication, so the idea that real love doesn’t need words is just not true. And how boring would love be if the other person always knew exactly what you wanted, or what you felt?
To me here’s nothing more beautiful and comforting than the tight hug that follows the duel of apologies after Kameron and I have any size of disagreement due to the fact that WE CANNOT READ EACH OTHER’S MINDS. Because we are human people, and expecting someone to know what you want from them without your input, no matter how well they know you, or how much they love you is just unrealistic and unhealthy.
If you’re in search of true love, you ought to roll up your sleeves, jusssayin’.
