what's in your happily ever after?

Relationships are as complicated as it gets; and well love, that's another thing. 

For some reason, today I felt as if I were Dr. Phil trying to give advice on relationships. And to be honest, I do not know why the majority of my friends come to me for relationship advice when I have NEVER been in any type of serious relationship in my life, but yet I am giving them advice. I know nothing about love because for one, I have never been in love but I like to think I have a pretty good idea. I like to think I have myself a pretty good fairytale or "happily ever after" that love should follow:

I'd like to think that there is more than one prince charming in the World out there for you. That if one relationship fails, that doesn't mean that all hope is lost and you will NEVER find someone else. You may fall in love more than once, have your heart broken multiple times and go through countless of relationships but you need to experience pain and a broken heart in order to feel love and happiness. It blows my mind to hear some of my friends situations they have found themselves in, even looking back at my past relationships, of how blind "love" really is. How we will bend and break the rules for that other person. Devalue our self-worth and lower our standards to fit their needs when in reality, we shouldn't change anything about ourselves. We shouldn't degrade our self-worth, our passions, cover the truths with lies, or find ways to "play the game" by jealousy and cheating. No relationship is worth those risks. No relationship is worth waking up and finding yourself in a state of regret. If you and him do not share the same values in life, give each other respect, converse with true passion and emotion, do me a favor and end it. Stop giving yourself excuses to stay. Stop trying to find ways to cover it up. It will find its way back everytime and end up hurting you worse and worse down the road. There is someone out there that will want to be with you as much as you want to be with them. Someone that cannot be away from you for more than one minute. Someone that will treat you with an infinite amount of respect, love, comfort, humility, tenderness, sympathy and charity that you deserve. Someone that will be your guardian angel, your savior, crying shoulder, pick-me-up and best friend. Someone out there that is worth the wait. Worth all the fights, tears, lies and broken hearts you received in the past. Your future is as bright as your faith and if you have faith that you will meet that special someone, you will find yourself your own prince charming that will make your happily ever after. I promise it will happen. Patience truly is a virtue and to my friends who all went through "just one of those days..." brighter days will come. There is always that rainbow after every storm. 

You will find that special someone and you will find yourself love. 

You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when its right, it's the best thing in the World. When you're in the relationship and it's good, even if nothing else in your life 

is right, you feel like your whole World is complete.
