love has MANY different definitions, and attributes, however it has made me pause and think of your statement. this last month, theres not been as much peace... at times yes... wonderful, deep, comforting, but then it all blows up again...

How "sick" are you willing to allow yourself to be, in order to preserve this "relationship?" |
today... is a pretty bad day, a lot of things are hitting me at once, im extremely sensetive, and emotional right now, which makes me express myself in an even more intense way than normal.
I've had a few of those experiences in my younger years "more in love with the
idea of being in love" and believe i know the difference. Knowing the difference to me, is KNOWING WHY you love someone, not just beacuse. This man is not perfect, nor am I, nor do i expect him to be. Just because things arent perfect, doesnt mean I am creating something in my head thats not there, love is also acceptance.
yes i do need to figure out my line of acceptance... i do not feel the relationship is toxic, and due to my own personal issues its very difficult to guage where the majority of the bull shit is coming from...
