Love is no fairy tale

Most people fall in love based on one of two conditions.
1. They believe it will last forever.
2. They believe he/she is the one.

With such pressure, no wonder there are relationship disasters everywhere you look.

Where do we learn such nonsense from?
Well, it begins from before we go to school. You base all your romantic relationships on what you learnt from reading Cinderalla and Snow White.

There is no happily ever after. No one lives happily ever after. Shit happens anytime, all the time. But we pick ourselves up and keep moving forward.

Women are brought up to believe that some Knight in shining armour or some prince is coming to save them. Of course this prince has to look a certain way and be wealthy. What bullocks! Why can’t the  princess save the knight in distress. Is it not real for just 2 people to fall in love? Why does the guy have to be the one with a career and the money?

Women, save yourselves. Be the heroine of your own life. Men, do not be pressured into believing you have to be the sole bread winner  in a relationship. It is okay if she earns more than you. Always remember, just because a light is broken, don’t change the house, change the bulb. There’s no perfect relationship. Relationships require immense time and energy to grow and nurture.

Finally, do not put conditions on why you should love. Love for the sake of loving. An open heart will always be filled with love. Nothing lasts forever, not ice cream or chocolate or sunsets.
Enjoy it all while it’s there.

Love,
