Checkpoint

Love is hard. 


True love, that is.


Somewhere down the road of love you'll reach an inevitable check point. Sometimes it comes out of nowhere and will catch you off guard. Sometimes it will feel like you're racing to see who gets there first. Nevertheless you will soon enough reach that checkpoint where every deep, dark spots of your hearts will be scanned and flashed. And right there and then, you will be forced to evaluate who you are, what you really want and what you are willing to do. Limits will be pushed and buttons pressed. Doubts will rise and you will suddenly feel judged and trapped. But once the search is over, once the impossible mess of a hurdle subsides, you will once again realize that true love is hard to defeat. That in the end, your heart will always choose to love. The sun's rays will slowly push away the dark clouds and make way for a new beginning. Your foot will release its weight on the break and you will move forward. This time, the two of you together will have your eyes and your hearts fixed straight ahead into the future, with a confidence and contentment, that only true love can give.

I wish that everyone gets the chance to experience true love. We were created to love and it is the most rewarding feeling. But I hope you're not expecting the usual "straight-from-the-romance-section" type of love. I mean real love...it's going to require a lot of hard work, tears and pain but, pull through and you'll see...it will redefine your understanding of the expression "it's worth it".
