Love in Life.

Love and relationships are undoubtedly one of the biggest and best parts about life.
Life can be full of great things, but if love isn't a part of it, there's not much else going on.

What you may not learn growing up from school, your family, or even your friends until you go through it, is that relationships and love can also be extremely draining, exhausting, and difficult.

Love, by all means, is amazing, of course, but the fact stands that love can also be your downfall.

You may hold on too tightly to something that never was.
You may hold back too much and nothing ever happens.
You may seek it out and never find it.

I guess that's how it works though, when you try to hard, it doesn't work, but also when you try to little, it gets taken away too quickly.
Where is the compromise, the in between and how do you get there? How do you suggest to yourself and to you partner that this takes both of us, this takes me, choosing you, this takes me trying and putting in all I can but also not giving up who I am.

The struggle.
The want. The need. The ultimate disappointment when something goes wrong.
Love.

Maybe it's not love that does that to us. Love is supposed to be the best, the most, what we're all searching for no matter if we're looking for it now or not.
Love makes life live-able. Love makes you want more in life because you have it.
So what is it that makes love so complicated.

Well, to put it simply, it's us. The complicated beings that we are, the people we choose to be and be with. That's it.
We complicate things for our own lives because of change, because of circumstance, because of insecurities we all have.

Love is supposedly easy, but we make it so much more difficult than it needs to be.
