One of my pet peeves used to be that people use song lyrics as their statuses on Facebook. I have learned to let that go because there is so much truth in songs. It is life with music and rhyming words. So the title of this post- "Life makes love look hard" - comes from Taylor Swift's song "Ours." I don't like Taylor Swift too much, but I do love this song very much.
Anyway, the point of this post is... life really does make love look hard. We always here about the divorce rates growing, the fights that people have in their marriages, and not even just marriages but relationships in general. It is not hard to love someone. It is a feeling that you cannot control and a feeling that is very desirable, but it is very hard to love someone so much and to see them go through pain. To see them struggle. To have to tell them the hard truth. Tyler and I are very very happy. I don't want anyone to think anything different. But we have our problems just like everyone else. We have a lot of learning to do. We have lessons that are still waiting to be learned. We have to experience things that we haven't had the chance to yet. Loving someone the way that you should and making (and holding onto) the committments that come with saying those vows can be difficult sometimes. I don't believe in "I will never do anything to hurt you." Things happen that we cannot control. You can't predict the future. Don't promise that you will never hurt me. I am so sensitive. There is no telling what will hurt me at any given time.
Life is hard. Money is tight. But we make it work. And we smile while we do it. We love each other unconditionally. We are a young couple. We stand very little chance of making it to 50 years. So the world wants to think. We made that promise to each other. We didn't get married with the intention of getting divorced on down the road. We are in it for the long haul. We are ready for anything that comes our way. We have already been through more than most young couples (even older couples than us). It has only made us stronger.
Life might make love look hard... but this love is definitely ours!!
