True love isn't this fireball from the sky, this balcony moment, a look exchanged between two people. That is romantic love. Actual true love in a partnership is work, compromise, acceptance, forgiveness, and the decision to continue loving each other even when the ride gets bumpy.
people think that marriage will be easy. People get married based on seeing myths of romance, fleeting passions, or sexual attraction, not for the reasons that make a relationship work like commitment and perseverance.
Nobody who's married talks about how difficult marriage and partnerships are. Just like most parents won't talk about how difficult it is to have and raise children. It's as if there's a societal smoke screen for these major life events and once you're on the other side you're not allowed to tell people what it's really like.
Find someone to love, of course. Find someone who loves you. And let it be based on reality, not just the Hollywood fairy tale version of love.
True love is not something you fall into, or passively happens to you beyond your control. True love is an active choice, that each day you must wake up and make. Stopping loving someone means you either never really loved the person, or you've chosen otherwise -- you're enmeshed in the idea of inert romantic love.
There's no happily ever after. Just sometimes happy. And only when you choose it.
