#6 To love is not to be weak. Growing up, I used to think that being in love was a giant show of weakness. Saying “I love you” was a tedious game of wondering who would “lose” first, instead of who would give in to the wonderful feelings associated with giving someone your heart.
To be in love, real love, means to work with all of your being at something you believe in, and there is nothing weak emotionally, physically or mentally about that.
#7 Just because you love someone, doesn’t mean it will work out. No matter how hard you try or how fiercely you love, sometimes you simply have to admit defeat in a relationship. This is an incredibly hard thing to face, especially if you still have feelings for someone.
However, so long as you have given the relationship the proper chance it deserved and put your earnest effort into saving it, there is nothing more mature than admitting you are just two people who simply aren’t right for each other.
