Love is rough.
People can hurt you, without you knowing, when you think you're in love. People can control you, and manipulate you, when you think you're in love. People can be true, they could be 'perfect', but perfect isn't always what you want. Being in love is having to feel as if you're not tied down. Like, now that you're in love, you are free. Now that you've found someone that will listen and care for you, no matter what, you're happy. Or could you just be oblivious of his/her actions and ideas? You may think that you're in love, but love takes two people. They may not even love you, back. Love is rough. Shit happens and if you're not happy with your relationship, it's time for a change. Love will have tears, laughs, and hugs; but most importantly it will have happiness and memories, that can't be replaced. There will be multiple dates and people. There will be multiple tears, yelling, and saying stuff you never meant. There will be heartbreaking, sadness, and a lot of ice cream. But it was worth it, because, most likely, you will find love, one day.
You will be loved.
Absolutely. I also think that people don't always need romantic love in every period of their lives. Maybe they are reaching for a familial bond or platonic affection. But because Hollywood's version of ideal romantic relationships are so poorly portrayed and romanticized, people often jump straight into relationships with unrealistic expectations and once the novelty wears off, they feel unhappy and want to leave. We should all calm the heck down and take some time to understand ourselves before delving into another.

Exactly! I just want everyone to realize that love isn't always like the movies, it's actually how you feel inside.
