The reason I say this is because you can have all of your friends and family telling you how bad someone one is for you, and for some reason it takes them doing the most unimaginable things for you to realize that you were in a bad situation. Just so you can grasp the unimaginable things I’m talking about, an example could be seeing your partner be fed drinks and food while the person feeding them is dressed inappropriately or hearing that something is going on between your significant other and other people from people who don’t even know you and or even them asking to be put on a break because they forgot an important anniversary.
Now, in my defense, I was blinded by the good times and this fantasy of living the perfect life with a man because of status and looks which isn’t an excuse but it taught me that I will fight for love until I know it’s over. I now know it can be over way before it’s obvious. There were signs like less communication, less time together, more arguments, and the one thing that hurt the most was the look.
When you first get with someone, everyone talks about how you two look at each other and if they don’t, it’s a sign. It’s like watching two people fall in love right in front of your eyes. The only way I can describe it is watching your favorite prince and princess couple realize they can be together for the rest of their lives. For me, it’s the little moments of watching my parents fall back in love with each other. It’s like behind that look, you know they can make it through anything, until they don’t. It always comes as a shock to people who saw them grow together and especially to the hopeless romantic friend who believed they would be planning a wedding for them.
Maybe all of this is just because I watched too much Disney when I was a kid or it’s because social media became more about family life and not self-love. Being a hopeless romantic messed me up in so many ways and I am glad to say that I am starting to get over it, but I also found someone who nurtures that side of me even when I don’t want it. So eventually I found a middle ground.
Maybe being a hopeless romantic isn’t that bad; you just have to find the right person.
That’s my story folks! Thanks for reading and this is just my personal story. Life isn’t always this way and hopefully it’ll be better for you. Have a great rest of your day!
