If you love something then you have to love it in every aspect. You cannot only pick the good part and throw away the rest. Love is not like doing shopping where you only take what looks shiny and leave the rest.
If you truly love something then you have to accept it from every side, even the part that looks boring, tough or not so perfect. That’s the real test of love.
For example, if you love reading and writing articles then you cannot only spend time on the famous ones. You have to give time to every type of article. Not just the ones with high likes, impressions, or big comments.
Sometimes an article with no reach at all can still have a beautiful thought in it. Maybe the words are not perfect, maybe the style is not attractive, but still the writer has put his feelings in it. That also deserves attention.
But if you only run behind popular ones then you miss that piece of craft. You never know, sometimes the imperfect ones stay with you longer than the polished ones.
It is like books. You cannot judge a book by its cover. You have to actually open it, read it, give it some time, and then decide if it was worth your time or not. Same with articles. Don’t just see from outside, go inside and then make your judgment.
When I have to watch a movie I don’t just check reviews and ratings. Because reviews are someone else’s view. Everyone has their own taste. A movie that looks boring to someone can be special for me.
So I first watch it myself and then I decide if it was good or bad, if it was worth my time or not. That way the decision is mine and not copied from others.
Love is not about choosing only when things are perfect. If you do that then it is not real love. It becomes like a condition. True love means you accept both the strong sides and the weak sides. You accept the flaws also.
Nothing in this world is perfect, not books, not movies, not hobbies, not even people. Everything has its weak point. And if you love it, you accept those weak points also along with the good. That is what makes the love strong.
Even in hobbies it is the same. Writing is not always smooth. Sometimes the mind is full of ideas and words flow easily. Other times your head is blank and you struggle to write even a single line.
But if you really love writing, you will not run away in those tough times. You will still sit, think, try, and give your time. That is love. Accepting the good flow and also accepting the struggle.
Same in relationships. If you love a person, you cannot only admire their bright side. You also have to see their mistakes and flaws. You don’t run away from them because of imperfection.
You stay because you love them as a whole person, not just as an idea in your head. Otherwise it is not real connection, it is just admiration from far away.
So, if you say you love something, then love it completely. Don’t copy other people’s opinions, don’t choose only the shiny sides. Give your own time, give your own judgment, and see it with your own eyes.
That is the right way of saying you love doing that thing. Love means patience, effort, and acceptance.
When you embrace both sides - the good and the bad - that’s when love becomes real and meaningful.
