5 Lies We’re Told About Love That We Should Ignore
In this article, we talk about the 5 myths we’ve all learned about love, but should ignore.
Loving and being loved can be a unique and wonderful experience. It can give new meaning to our lives. But love also has its challenges, its difficult phases, and believing in the idea of romantic , unbeatable love can be frustrating and exhausting.
Feeling that the love we have isn’t strong and passionate enough like what we’ve learned in books and movies can make us want to have a perfect relationship that will never really exist. This happens because many of us idealize love and that idealization clashes with real life.
