http://thoughtcatalog.com/2013/the-way-you-should-love-someone/
10 minutes ago, I read an article on Thought Catalog. Not something I do every day but when I have a little bit of time to spare, I do a bit of reading online.
Not the most incredible piece of literary art but it is a simple reading piece. Something so easy to understand and I feel like I could have easily written that. It sort of helps that someone else who lives in another continent shares the same perception.
These are my favourite parts because they make so much sense and they apply to the relationship that both Sad and I share.
"Love someone when they’re drunk and it looks like their face is melting and they’re stuffing food in their mouth, sauce dripping down the sides." (Well, not so much the drunk part but have you seen the way I eat? Crumbs all over my chin, dress and even hair and I don't stop to clean myself until I'm done eating or until Sad extends his hand to wipe them off for me? Either that he does nothing but laugh at me!)
"Love someone when they’re insufferable, when they hate their job and hate their friends and seem to hate everything in their life except for you. You might lose respect for them, you might look at them as if they’re weak and can’t stand on their own two feet, but I want you to try to push those thoughts out of your brain because the fact is that this happens. People get stuck in their life and they look around and only see one thing that makes sense to them. It doesn’t make them weak or co-dependent, it just makes them human. Don’t fault them for things that are largely out of their control, don’t have your attraction hinge on how great their life seems to be going."
"By choosing to love, you are accepting the flaws and ugliness that comes along with something beautiful."
Kinda wished I had some money to spare right now to get married. Seems like it's the season to get married, get pregnant and give birth and it's weird when these people were once your classmates, 1-2 years older or even younger than you, cousins you used to hang out with almost every week.
But it's all right, when I'm ready, I'll marry and start a family.
