love the one you're with

I think that love is centered around finding that someone who sincerely likes the person you are. You don't have to pretend to be anyone other than who you are at that very moment. And of course, you must like and love and enjoy the person they are as well. If you are very lucky, you are both growing in the same direction so that as you grow and change, and we all do, you grow in the same direction and ultimately end up closer as time goes by. Unlike those unlucky souls who are growing in opposition to each other so that at some point they are so disparate they no longer enjoy the person the other has become. They are different people and too different from each other to have any harmony.

Do you truly love the one you're with? Do you love their weaknesses and their strengths. Do you love their darkness and their light, their quirks and their frailties as much as their finer qualities. Then you have found what most people only dream of, I think.
