Love is hard work

The thing about love, it's that it's like life. It's hard work. Most people just let it come and let it work on its own, they submit to whatever and however it makes them feel. Life is good, I'm happy, life is bad, I'm sad. Love makes me feel butterflies, I'm happy, love breaks my heart, I'm sad. It's just not me, it's love, it's life, I'm the victim.

Well, maybe you should stop whining about how things make you feel and start controling yourself a little bit. When you get happy, or angry... well it's you. You, your body, your feelings. And you can control it. You put up everyday with lots of things, so you can do that too.

The problem, then, comes with how you put up with things. Pushing them under the rag is not a good idea. Stop dealing with the consequences of the problem, go for its source. It's in you. Refuse to get angry or sad for things that are not worth it. It's okay to express your feelings, better than stuffing them in, but work on your reaction to things that usually make you feel bad. Because, in the end, there will always be bad things. And if you don't work to refuse the effect they have on you, you're enslaving yourself to those things.

You have control. You just choose to surrender it to those things. Take it back.
