Tens que estar todo dentro ou sair todo - Não há meio termo no amor

O amor não é só dias bons. O amor não é só aniversários e prendas. O amor é tudo o que está no meio.

Whoever imagines a flawless, laughter-filled relationship with cutesy couple stuff, they’re about to be disappointed.

I’m not saying that relationships are disappointing. I’m saying that people often have high expectations and weak effort.

Tudo é muito mais fácil quando imaginamos situações e cenários na nossa cabeça. No entanto, a realidade é outra.

Strong love requires strong foundations and it isn’t found – it’s made. Love like that doesn’t childishly ignore problems, but says let’s fix this.

I want to fix what’s broken over and over again and glue it with gold. A struggle means a better foundation.

Quero cometer um erro e não voltar a cometê-lo, porque sei que é melhor assim. Quero preocupar-me.

Quantas vezes já revirou os olhos depois de algo que a sua cara-metade disse ou fez por causa de coisas objetivamente insignificantes?

Start with that and then slowly progress towards more complex problems, because that’s what relationships of any kind have – problems.

Now, what I want for myself isn’t a relationship without problems, but one with endurance and character. A relationship that doesn’t depend on anyone else but the two of us.

I don’t want to doubt my partner; I want to trust him completely.

Quero estar num desses casamentos em que estão casados há 20 anos e continuam tão apaixonados um pelo outro, a cuidar um do outro e a apoiar-se mutuamente.

I want the father of my children to be my best friend and someone I can count on – one who’s going to constantly invest in our relationship and have the same goals as me.

I want to be immersed in my partner completely – and that includes through good times and the bad – the times when we’re full of love and happiness, and the days when I feel broken and mad.

I want to fight for love and not give up when it comes to the first little obstacle. I want passion and romance, 3 AM conversations, and feeling the love at all times – even when we fight.

I know I have the capacity to love BIG and I don’t want to pretend like that’s not something to be proud of.

I’m a ride or die, and that’s why I need to know you’re the one before I give all of myself to you.

I’m tired of almost relationships, fake relationships, and immature men – people who don’t understand me, who misunderstand my words, and who blame me for things I never did.

I need to know you’re not afraid to be vulnerable. They say men shouldn’t be vulnerable, but I disagree. A man who can address his feelings is a man who’s always in control of himself.

I need to see your actions speak louder than words. I don’t want to beg for things or constantly have to explain myself.

I need you to be proud of me and accept me as I am. A man who won’t wave his hand at me when I bring up things that interest me.

I need to know that you have the capacity to love as big as me, because that’s what I love about myself.

Adoro estar apaixonada pelo amor e querer que as coisas funcionem e sejam o melhor possível.

I don’t want halfway love. I want it whole, because I’m deserving of a whole, real love.

My work and effort deserve to be recognized. It’s crazy I ever believed I was anything less than good enough just because other people didn’t care as much as me.

I am good enough and the love I’m giving is always more than good enough. My love is refusing to give up on you, no matter what.
