Love Isn't Easy

Hello and welcome to ABBA land. Suddenly I feel as if my blog has been taken over by music artists, authors and so on. However, I’m a passionate, impressionistic girl- I am equally prone to getting consumed by them and getting bored by them! Anyhow, this post isn’t to rant. It is to talk about some of the virtues that this particular song (Love Isn’t Easy) teaches me.

For those of you who haven't heard the song, there you go: 

The first rule is- “Love isn’t easy, but it sure is hard enough.” Love is difficult. Period. Actually, all relationships are- even friendship to an extent. Anything that requires letting go of your selfish needs and demands and adjusting to the other person is difficult. Not only that, it’s scary too, to find yourself in a place where you lose your “individuality”, if I may say so.

The golden rule is- “We gotta have patience.” This is one of the most obvious rules that we always tend to forget. No one has the time anymore for patience. The moment my boyfriend does one thing that might show  that he doesn’t care for me anymore, my thoughts jump to breaking up with him. Patience is especially needed after the honeymoon period when things begin to change and no one likes that change!

And finally, the only rule that is the prerequisite of true love is- “If I would have to choose, I wouldn’t let you go. Just give it some more time and you will see our love will grow.” Yes, holding on. Things will get rough- don’t think that if it’s true love then things will always go well: WRONG assumption. Don’t let go every time things get rough.  And next time you feel like letting go (especially for the smaller things), just remember that even though letting go feels like the easier option, getting over someone is harder than loving them.
