What’s the point of loving?

Why do you have to be perfectly curated or well put together to qualify to be loved. Why can’t you love someone with flaws, ‘broken’ ways of thinking. Why can’t you stay next to someone and help them grow if they’re willing to be with you. It seems as if we reserve love for those who know how. If you have gone as far as multiple years with someone, you have that connection with someone, why wouldn’t you fight to keep it. Fight to make it better. Love is a choice, love is work & effort. Why is that when things get tough, rough and tiresome that we just throw in the towel. (Grass isn’t always greener on the other side, it’s greener where you water it)

I hear time & time again, people hardly ever change. Find someone worth your time, find someone who already knows how to do the things you want. What if I want someone who wants me but doesn’t check every single box I have. I have to just let them go? Even if they’re willing to take the time to learn how to love me? Isn’t that love in itself? To learn something foreign to make someone else happy?

Humans by nature are frustrating, confusing, and sometimes tough to deal with. Due to us having our own baggage, secrets, issues. Why can’t every person be deserving of love even when they aren’t perfect in showing it?
