Everything relationship will get boring after you've been together for years. Love isn't a feeling it's a commitment to love every day, physically and emotionally. It's difficult, it's not always laughs, smiles, and fun. People tend to quit when it stops being fun, and they go look for someone else, because the spark is gone. No, that's not how it works, You want somebody to never give up on you, and love you unconditionally then do the same. Be the change. This isn't Hollywood, this isn't the movies. That shit isn't real. Love someone when you won't want to, when they aren't the easiest to deal with. When they're hard to love. That's the realist shit there is. - unknown

Please, keep looking. Not for a person, but for you passion, your love, your courage, your goals, your dreams, your happiness, yourself. Keep looking. Explore yourself before you explore another. Know your worth, know yourself. Only when will you know what you need over what you want. You need yourself to become your won. - unknown

I hope you fall in love with someone who always calls back and never lets you fall asleep thinking you're unwanted. I hope you fall in love with someone who sees galaxies in your eyes and hears music in your heartbeats. I hope you all in love with someone who tickles you and makes you smile on heard days and on easy ones. But beyond all that I hope that you fall in love with someone who will never leave you behind and who will never take you for granted, someone who will stand by you when you 're right and stand by you when you're wrong, someone who has seen you at your worst and has loved you still. I hope you fall in love with someone who kisses you in the rain and hugs you in the cold and wouldn't have you any other way. - unknown Accept The Awkwardness: How To Make Friends (And Keep Them)
You don't need a perfect relationship. All you need is someone who loves your weirdness, wants to spend time with you, and respects you. - unknown

A disagreement with a toxic partner will turn into an argument, that turns into a bigger problem. A disagreement with a divine partner will turn into a conversation, that will lead to changed behavior or a solution. It's important you know the difference. - unknown
