Me and My Mister

Wisdom from an older couple:

We fight, sometimes over the smallest things; bills, schedules, or words that cut deeper than intended. The truth is, real love isn't the fairytale we grew up hearing about. It’s raw, messy, and at times exhausting. But we choose to fix it, not because it’s easy, but because walking away isn’t the answer when what we’ve built is real.

We love in a way that says, “I see all of you, even the parts that are hard to love, and I’m still here.” That’s where maturity comes in; the understanding that love isn’t just passion and excitement, but also patience and effort. It’s about having tough conversations when you’d rather walk away, knowing that each conflict is a chance to grow closer and understand each other better.

We stay, not because it’s always beautiful or out of fear of being alone, but because love is a commitment. It’s the decision to be there not just when times are good, but also when they’re challenging. It’s recognizing that relationships aren’t about perfection; they’re about progress. It’s holding on when it would be easier to let go, understanding that the real beauty of love lies not in avoiding every break, but in learning how to heal together.

So, we fight, we fix, we love, and we stay; not because we must, but because we choose to. Every single day. That’s what real love is.
