It’s hard work managing love. The nitty gritty mundane activities that we call our daily routine, such as being there for your loved one when they need you, managing your hours better, making it home in time. And no matter what your day has been like, putting that aside and giving your 100% to your partner. Then add a kid or two to this already simmering mixture, and it takes no time for it to boil over. On the other hand, the world just sitting there like a silent audience, waiting to give you a standing and resounding ovation as you trip over and fall, with a million beautiful views. To be sure, they especially saved it for this auspicious occasion, making you realise that you do “fall in love”.
But here I stop you short, love is love. It may bring you to your knees, crush you and your soul till you are ready to pull your proverbial hair. But, love is love. And here is where you have to do a great many things like killing your ego, your negativity and not look for advice in other quarters who only see one side of the picture. For some, throwing caution to the wind and walking out is the easiest and most simple solution. Just as Rehtt would say to Scarlett in Gone with the wind, ”Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn,” and walk away. Or on the other hand some would apply Scarlett’s response, “I will deal with it tomorrow, tomorrow is another day.” Whether deal with it tomorrow, or walk away, it all depends on how truly you love the one you made your promises to.
We make and break promises in love and anger as quickly as the first snowflakes hit the ground and melt. But with true love it’s the other way round. Because true love is for the long haul. It’s for all those barren, arid stretches that come in your life as though you haven’t loved at all and not just for the honeymoon period which is already sweetened by stirrings of tenderness that love has awakened in your heart. Love is the energy that keeps you striving to never let go.
