Every individual has their own limit on how much they can accept. However, when you meet the person that you really want to keep in your life, you overlook the flaws that they have, the cracks in their heart and most importantly, their past. We're only humans to have made mistakes but with every mistake, we are a step closer to who we want to be in the future. We fall, we cry but at the end of the day, we stand up stronger than before.
Love is never a competition between two on who's the one that's loving or rather giving more in the relationship. And neither is it a competition with others on comparing each other's life, materialistic gifts or relationship. It is about finding that particular warm cosy feeling, knowing that you have each other to lean on while working towards a better future together.
It was never about the looks, money or how accomplished a person is. I count all of these as a bonus if they happen to have either one of this trait because what's the point of having someone who might fit the highest calibre of a dating candidate when you can't feel happy from deep within?
To love is a choice to be made each and every day - yesterday, today and tomorrow. It should be an honest choice that you wish to make that is not on impulse. Sometimes, the mind might be clouded by the adrenaline feeling when you meet someone new but only time could tell if the decision is a temporary illusion or a firm choice.
Time and timing usually goes hand in hand - they said timing is important and probably with time, we become more mature and be able to ascertain what we want. But with time, comfortability also steps in. So always remember that effort speaks a thousand time louder than each lovey dovey sentence that comes out from the mind.
