How do we know what love is?
It's the t.v. shows and the movies and the magazines that scream love is beach house getaways, hot red lipstick, dangerous excursions, and perfect affairs.
It's books that whisper endless and unwavering. Flawless gentlemen and happily ever afters.
It's music that cries magical, sweet, lovely, and betrayal.
It's social media that sings pretty and perfect and exciting.
It's our parents.
They show us arguments and hard work. Flowers on February 14th and chocolates on May 8th. They show us compromise and cuddles. Surprise gifts and service. Others show us loud fights and deep grudges. Stubborn points and ignored favors.
Love isn't always rainbows and butterflies, it's compromise that moves us along.
-Maroon 5, She Will Be Loved
