i just saw the dumbest reply to something
“love can’t make a relationship work” lol uh
that’s exactly what makes it work ??
y'know, by the actual definition of love
love is countless disagreements over months and years to figure out how best to gel with someone. it’s seeing the storm in them and deciding not to jump ship at the next port. it’s taking interest in stuff that might not interest you, because they adore it and seeing them so happy to share it with you makes a little boredom worthwhile. it’s choosing to put your own problems aside for an hour or two because they’re in a worse spot emotionally and you want to be there for them. it’s about compromising even on things you really wanted for yourself, because they want something wildly different.
love isn’t glamorous or all just cutesy feelings. it’s something you work on, together, over a long time. and it is absolutely what makes a relationship work.
