The best thing about me

Why do people fall in love with illusions?

Like, they're not actually in love with the person they say they love, rather, they fall in love with this ideal person they make up.
'Oh, you're good looking, you are pretty, you have gorgeous eyes, so I bet there are quite a number of people that fancy you... which makes you a popular person. And you are very charming when you speak, everyone can't take their eyes off you when you're talking, I bet you must be a smart person at school. Hmm... I like you. I think I'm in love with you...'

This is just sad, because when the truth about the person you idealize come striking right at your face, pow, you immediately break down with the fact that who they are aren't actually who you've been expecting. They're not actually THAT amazing, they seem to be charismatic and strong people in the crowd but truth is, they are vulnerable and scared inside.
And you know what? These people that you idealize are eventually left alone, because you guys are fuckingdisappointed.

What's with all the disappointment? Nobody tells you to believe in illusions. Both parties get hurt because of false image that you've always been creating to fool yourself.

I just don't understand why people won't accept the fact that nobody is perfect, and that nobody is absolutely 'your type of guy/girl'. And please, when you find out about how different they are from what you have expected, don't abandon them. If you love them enough, you won't just leave, you won't tell them to change just for your sake.

If you love them enough, embrace every inch of their flaws, tell them they're beautiful.
If you love them enough, encourage them to be who they are instead of being who others want them to be.


I love my boyfriend enough to say that he's absolutely amazing despite all the flaws he has. Of course, be a better person, put effort in everything you do, but never change your roots. Never change yourself.

I love you just the way you are, and I mean it.
