I know love can be a great thing, but also be something that tears you apart on the inside.

It can suck at times to say the least.

But also, it all depends on who you choose to be with in this crazy world we call “ life “

But remember this:

You have choices.

You can either be with someone that makes you miserable all day and choose to be with that person since you lack self worth.

Or… either choose to be single till you find someone that values you and who you are as a person.

You gotta have self worth in this world. Because even if you achieve all the riches in the world, you will still feel empty inside.

So please, keep that in mind first and foremost.

But even if you find that special someone, it takes hard work to maintain a relationship.

And one brutal truth about relationships is unless you are really trying to keep this person in your life and weather the storm with them,

they will come and go just like the seasons.

Here is how.

Spring.

You weathered the winter of being alone and now spring is here. Things are looking up with the sun shining outside and you meeting a new person. Seems like everything is going to work out after all.

Summer.

Just like how the heat is picking up outside, So is your relationship. Things couldn’t be better and you guys can’t keep your hands off each other. You think you might be spending a lot more time with this person.

Might end up locking it down for good:)

Fall.

Just like outside there is a chill now between you and your significant other. You guys still care for one another but now the constant affection is gone, the petty arguments arise, and the lil things that annoy you about this person are coming to the surface more.

Its not looking so good now between you two.

Winter.

With it being freezing cold outside and making it unbearable to go out, it’s the same between you two. Can’t stand looking at each other, constant arguing, sex life is nonexistent. It was fun while it lasted but you two just couldn’t weather the storm and you both end up going your separate ways.

Now do you see what I was saying?

Deep down we all want that person that we will fight for and be determined to keep that passion going so we can see plenty of seasons come and go together for eternity with that special someone.

But most of us will go through people that will come and go just like the seasons I mentioned above before you meet that special someone.

Just how it is.

Can get depressing at times as well.

But hey, don’t let it get you down though.

It’s life.

But what comes after rainy days?

Sunshine:)

So keep your head up

and wipe those tears from your eyes.

It’s going to be alright and work out in the end for you.

Keep that faith.

And never forget to remember this key point:

Things will always get better.

You know why?

Because spring is just right around the corner.

And you will get another chance at redemption:)

Thanks for reading.

Take care.

Peace.
