Lifelong commitment is not what most people think it is. It's not waking up every morning to eat breakfast together. It's not cuddling in bed together while you both fall asleep. It's not a clean home filled with laughter and sex everyday.
It's someone who always steals the damn covers. Someone who snores when you're a light sleeper. It's slammed doors and words that cut you deep because of who they're from.
It's stubbornly disagreeing and giving each other the silent treatment because neither of you are willing to give up until someone finally does and you both can heal with a hug.
It's coming home to the same person every single day who loves and cares about you, despite your many, many flaws. Because you're you, and that's who they always wanted from the start.
It's about laughing about that one time(many times) you accidentally did something really stupid. It's about dirty laundry and unmade beds. It's about toilet seats left up and toilet paper the wrong way on the holder. It's also about helping each other with all the hard work.
It's about swallowing all those words you know will hurt them most and swallowing your pride. It's about accepting you may have to get fast food again instead of cooking and not sitting together because of how crazy your days were.

It's about loving the person who makes you more insane than anyone because they just. Don't. Get. It. Sometimes.
Loving someone isn't easy. Sometimes, it's REALLY hard. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Remember who loves you and cares for you, despite your flaws.
