I saw this on one of my favorite blogs and I just had to re-post it. She is talking about the show The Bachelorette and love in general. Don't get me wrong I love reality tv, but she is right on with her thoughts on love.
Can I just say this…
there is a reason you can’t find true love on a television show.
because it grows best in the quiet times
when there are no cameras, no prying eyes, no people there to watch it.
It grows in the slow breaths and long silences of a car ride
in the short distance between his shoulder and mine.
Real love is not a fairy tale.
It is not perfect.
It is flawed and difficult
it hurts like hell sometimes.
Real love takes weeks and months and years to become.
It knows the story behind the scars on your ribcage,
your greatest fear,
and what you looked liked at seven.
True love isn’t a contest.
it’s the most unforced and natural of all life’s possibilities.
It’s what happens when you let go of precedents and expectations
and reveal all of yourself, privately and wholly to another soul.
Save tv shows for design contests and cook offs,
let love alone.
