Why Can’t Love Be Simple?

So I’ve always had a fairytale image of love. I’ve always had the idealistic view of it. The hopeless romantic lens of it. But there’s so much more you learn about relationships from being in one.. or several. I used to wish for the simple things, like if one likes other, and the other likes the one.. then live happily ever after. Why do we have to go through so many people to find the right one? Don’t make it complicated! Why do there have to be fights? Why do there have be any problems? Why can’t you see that love conquers all? *Sigh but no. Life is not that simple, so why would we ever think that our love lives are going to be simple? It’s not simple because I truly believe that there is ONE TRUE LOVE for you out there. There is someone out there that is the other half to you. The one that your soul has been searching for. It’s like a puzzle piece, very specific and very stubborn when it comes to love. So you have to keep trying to find that perfect fit because your heart will only accept one. And when you think you ALMOST got it, it’s ALMOST perfect, but it’s not quite right, it’s pretty frustrating right? But it’s okay because you ARE on the right track. So if you apply that to relationships, you can’t be “meant to be with” with every person you date, obviously. You can’t fit fit perfectly with more than one person. So I’ve grown to learn, that is why relationships are not simple. That’s why you fight to see what you like and what you don’t. If the relationship you’re in is not everything you wanted, but close to it, then you’re getting closer to THE ONE you’re meant to be in. It will be worth searching for because if you’re in a relationship where you ALMOST get everything you want, can you imagine a relationship better than that? It makes it all the more better when you find it though, because once you find it, you can finally say “I’ve gone through all this just to find you… and it was worth it.” And mean it.
