Relationships

I was having a conversation the other day about people being in love, loving someone and falling out of love and relationship "work" in general.  People fall in and out of love every day.  It's a very sad and true notion.  You hear, "relationships are hard work" at every corner and while this may be true in some sense, the romantic side of me doesn't believe they are "work" in the drone, day after day kinda way but more like your ideal dream job that you long to run to every morning.  It isn't always peaches but at the end of the day, you're still pretty damn happy about it.  You go to bed each night trying to think of new and creative ways to make it grow, keep it fresh and in turn, it will make you smile inside and out.  Now THAT is the kind of relationship I want.  The kind where someone doesn't let the day after days get to them at ever turn or kink in the road but instead, decides to find some creative way to get through it, add some glitter and wade on by with a smile.  Life is hard. I'm not downplaying that for one second but if you allow every emotion, HUGE to teeny, to get to you and knock you down, life is going to be hard, not only for you but for everyone around you.  Sadly, you could be on a fast track to being alone...

The idea of falling in love and creating ways to continually fall in love, with that same person, over and over again, sounds like the greatest adventure to me.  And in no way, does it sound like "hard work" at all, not if you truly believe in love.

Yeah, it's kinda like that in my head.
