Relationships are not ideal. No matter what you do, you will never have the exact fantasy relationship you always imagined having. It just won't happen.
For so long before, I was alone. I didn't know what it was like to be with anyone at all. I always thought when I finally got with someone it would be perfect, just like the movies told me it would be. It wasn't. It was actually the opposite.
I suppose that sounds awful, but it is the truth. Relationships can be amazing and wonderful and eye-opening, yes, but they will never be picture perfect. There are always complications in life. Someone's busy, someone's sick, someone's unhappy. Even for a brief moment, there will always be faults. This was something it took long for me to realize.
I wish there was someone that would have told me having a boyfriend is not going to be perfect. I wish someone would have opened my eyes and let me see the realities. We're both young, broke, and too far away. We're busy and life is moving quickly. I've realized, at this point, I don't need to take it so seriously. I'm not going to be with this guy for the rest of my life. I'm going to be with probably several guys before I find someone I want to spend everyday of the rest of my life with. That's okay. I'm young, and things can be casual as hell if I want them to be. No rush.
In any case, this is my "revelation" as one may call it. Things have gotten better since it. I'm happy to say I am completely content with being alone.
