"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not." -André Gide-

"The thing is that love gives us a ringside seat on somebody else's flaws, so of course you're gonna spot some things that kinda need to be mentioned.

Actually, true love is often about trying to teach someone how to be the best version of themselves." -Alain de Botton-

Love is absolutely not when the other person's happiness is your own. Once you make someone else happiness more important than your own you lose yourself and become no one.

These are all very sappy but not reality.

Not surprising.
