Accepting these "uncomfortable" truths does not mean devaluing love. On the contrary - it means removing impossible, fabulous expectations from it and seeing its true power. This means stop waiting for a partner to make us happy and take responsibility for our own happiness.
True love is not an eternal holiday. It's a choice. It is a daily choice to see the person next to you, hear them, negotiate, forgive, support. This is a quiet, persistent work to create a common world. And in this work, in this conscious choice, there is much more magic and depth than in any movie fireworks.
