It's been the first visit to my Art Journal in a long time, and I was influenced slightly by Valentines Day. I'm very much a romantic, and I'm in the best relationship of my life. But I do find the idea of 'perfect love' a little annoying. Nothing is perfect, especially when it comes to relationships and love. Accepting someone's flaws, compromising, and valuing yourself just as much as the one you love is an important lesson in growing up, I believe.
It's okay to put yourself first, and very important to stay true to yourself throughout any relationship in your life. This took a long time for me to learn, but I feel my relationship is the better for it, as am I.
Hope you all had a wonderful week ♥

ReplyDeleteYou should really watch "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind". It's message in my opinion is that relationships are flawed and that's okay! :D

That's a great way to think of things! After all, if you don't stay true to yourself then you could easily lose all the you-ness that your partner fell in love with in the first place. I think it's way more healthy for both people to hold on to their individual personalities.

Girl, I love you so darn much. You're right with the whole concept of perfect love, what even is it? The exaggerated love found in soppy movies?
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your art journal.
Love, Summer.

Jemma - this was wonderful!!! I totally agree with you about the idea of perfect love. It's totally bollocks. I think that a good relationship makes you a better, stronger person and more capable of dealing with things on your own. In other words, being with someone who is good for you should make you need them less and want them more.
