I always believed that if a boy made you cry or pained you when you were in love with him then the relationship you two shared was not worth it. I believed this because I thought a boy should never be able to make you feel horrible about a situation or make you cry. These beliefs came from a side of me that was extremely independent -almost ignorantly so.
Now I realize if a man is able to elicit tears and pain from you then it is worth it. Because now I understand that this is passion.
And if there is a person in your life that can make you elicit these types of emotions then perhaps that is how you know the love and relationship you share is worth it -whether it is a friendship or a romantic relationship, emotions of all sorts should be experienced. How boring would a relationship be if they could not make you feel anything? That would not be a relationship. That would be complacency. Boring. Love is supposed to make you laugh and cry -nothing in life is one-sided. These emotions of fear, anger, hurt, regret -prove this person and your relationship with them matters enough to you for you to be able to feel any emotion at all.
And, that to me, is now how I view love.
