I have been a hopeless romantic for as long as I can remember. I believed that individuals functioned in a certain way when they were in love. The certain gestures, routines, the things that you see in those fictional movies that make you disappointed in life. I’ve heard that they exist. For some of us, you get that one person that makes you happy, and with that your life is complete. This isn’t about that anymore. This is about how relationships work. The part where you and your partner put the effort into making something out of nothing. The fundamental principle of love. Not the love that is shown in movies, but the labor that is put in it. Without it, a relationship ceases to exist. The one part that some of us forget when life changes. The minute things. Those I have spoken to have agreed with me. Not just the females but the males as well. Some of us forget the simple things. Like a smile. A compliment. Or a phone call. The waiting outside the classroom for that chance to see them. A hug. The simple reminder that love still exist. We sometimes forget the trivial things, or we think it’s too difficult, too time consuming. I went about doing an experiment. It takes about 1 minute to call up your significant other, wait for the phone to ring, and just simply say “I love you.” If you leave a message, on average it will be 1minutes and 30 seconds. A smile takes about five seconds, a simple compliment about 30. We get slothful with the things we acquire. We become too comfortable, too conformed to an everyday activity. Just because you have someone, doesn’t mean that you can take advantage of them. Affection is what humans desire. Without the necessary foundation of a relationship, it falls apart. Emotions run on the edge and it becomes a chore. Don’t let it go so far. Appreciate what you have today, so you don’t suffer the consequences tomorrow.
