Love is not a fairytale. It is definitely not the sweet, dreamy and safe place we are so often made believe it is all the time. The true reflection of it reveals a whole lot of other ingredients that are less flattering.

The magic only kicks in if you acknowledge that everything love has to offer has as much to do with the person in front of you as with yourself.
