All You Need is Love?

Sorry Beatles, I beg to differ on this one. I feel like we are conditioned and brainwashed about the idea of love. The struggle lies in finding "the one" but no one talks about the struggle once you do. I grew up believing that once you found your mate, that's it. That what the real struggle was finding someone that you have that real connection with. I spent a lot of time upset at the fact that I just wasn't finding someone that I clicked with. I would truly want to like someone, but the connection wasn't there. So when I did find someone, my brainwashed self thought that the struggle was finally over and I could finally relax and be happy. I mean...you've finally found the person who gets you, where its natural, and you both are exactly on the same page...for ONCE.

But no one talks about those other things. The things that can get in the way of the relationship that really hurt and make you have to fight for. What no one told us was that timing is EVERYTHING.
I hate it. It's a hard lesson that my stubborn self doesn't want to learn. I've spent so much time thinking that the battle was finding that someone- but have learned that the real struggle is learning that if timing isn't right, then it just isn't right. It can't work out.
So all you need is love? I disagree.
