NO RELATIONSHIP IS PERFECT

No relationship is perfect. 
As much as you would want it to be perfect, it will never be perfect. 
It's always good before it gets bad, it's always easy before it gets hard, and it always feels perfect before it gets real. 


You'll always see the best in each other before you bring out the worst of each other. 
As the connection gets deeper and the attachment gets stronger, that's when you're gonna see just exactly how vulnerable you've made yourself to each other. 
That's when the flaws and faults start to show themselves. 
That's when the problems and differences start to settle in. 


This is where most people give up because now everything is too complicated or too difficult and that's when they try to find someone better.
But the thing is even with someone better, it's never going to be perfect. 


It's not about being with someone better or having that perfect relationship.
It's about knowing the value of what you have right in front of you and making it work despite the challenges it may bring. 


Sure, it feels amazing when you two get along and it feels miserable when you two argue.
But the beauty in that is being able to always find your way back to each other when you're on the verge of losing one another because that goes to show that it's something worth fighting for and it's meant to be saved. 


So there might not such a thing as a perfect relationship, but a beautiful one..? 
Yeah, those do exist because what's beautiful isn't always perfect, and it's something we all deserve.

WOMEN AND PMS

Maybe I had a bad day at work. 
Maybe I'm sick of the rain. 
Maybe I'm having the period from Hell. 
Or maybe I just need to be fed. 


But the root of my mood is the least important thing right now.
Remember that I'm sorry.
If anything I said hurt you, I'm sorry.


I tend to say cruel things I don't actually mean when I'm in a mood.
But just because they're fueled by anger doesn't mean that they don't hurt you.
But remember that I'm also not sorry.


I won't apologize for having feelings, for being a person.
Let me be.
Let me feel.
I know it sucks, but in this moment, I'm moody.


And there's nothing you can do to change that, except let me let it all out.
So, it can go away.
Remember that I'm human.


We all have good days, and bad days.
And sometimes I have good days for absolutely no reason.
And sometimes I have bad days for absolutely no reason.
Remember that it's not you.


If you were the problem - if you were the reason why I'm moody right now,
Trust me, you would know.


Whatever it is, you need to let me feel it.
No judgments.
Remember that I love you, and that you love me.


And even though I'm in one of my moods,
Even though I'm being a total pain in the ass right now,
Remember that this is a part of me.


This is a part of the woman you love, the person you fell for.
Remember that you get into moods, too.


I'm not crazy.
I'm just being crazy for the time being.
And, like me, you're human.
You do the same thing.


While you don't have PMS, you definitely have a time of the month where you get moody as hell.
So put yourself in my shoes when you're in a bad mood, how do want to be treated..?


Remember that if I wanted to be alone, I would be alone.
You're here, because despite my mood, I need you by my side.
I want you by my side.
While it may not show, knowing you're here with me makes me feel better.
Because you make me feel safe, like everything's gonna be okay.
