Falling In Love

I always grew up with the idea that when we're older we will eventually meet our one true love in our twenties and get married then eventually have kids. That's what I always thought was the secret to a good life. I suddenly realised that wasn't the case especially when my parents got divorced when I was ten years old. It kind of opened my eyes to the fact that love and marriage is not forever.

Yet we get exposed to this idea that it is especially with this idea of "Happily Ever After" from books and movies we watch growing up. Like I grew up watching Disney movies and reading fairy tales which usually end with the girl getting the guy and being happy in love. These movies make it so simple and so easy to fall in love yet the reality it's not so easy. It may have been easier in the 20th century where the internet wasn't a huge thing and to meet people you actually had to go out and talk to get to know them. These days social media makes that hard because if you want to know about someone you can just look at their Facebook page and find out their life story.

Also it's harder to meet people because sometimes you have to meet through a screen first through a dating app. That's difficult because the person on the other side of the screen may feel like the one for you and act the way you want them to act. However, they could turn out to be someone completely different when you meet them in real life. Yet it's so difficult to actually go out and find love. I'm twenty two and the one experience with online dating has put me right off actually looking for love online. It kind of made me realise that I don't need someone to complete me. The goal in life is not to find true love. It's to be happy and full of self love for yourself.

That's my biggest struggle in life is actually loving myself. Of course I things I wouldn't change about myself but I see so many faults and yet I don't work on those faults or even adapt to them and learn to love them. In 2019, I do want to try and learn to love myself a bit more and just focus on me. It's okay to be selfish sometimes because you do need to take care of yourself. I hope by the time 2019 ends that I'm so much happier with the person I am and maybe I'll find love within myself.

I hope this ramble of mine makes sense. It's just being playing on my mind recently and I just wanted to write it down on my blog.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this post and that you took something away from it. If you didn't then it doesn't matter because I certainly took something from it.

I'll be back again tomorrow with another post.

See you then.
