This is a beautiful quote that really highlights the unfortunate truths of people in our modern society. When you tell someone you love them, in most cases, you HAVE to use “I love you for this and this and this” because if you say “I love you despite this and this and this” it’s taken as criticism and an insult. And that’s sad. Because this quote brings out the real truth about what love is.  To love someone for many things and despite the ones that hurt or don’t settle correctly. The problem, I think, is that everyone wants to be complimented and told they’re perfect because in some respects they believe they deserve that.  And the fact is, they don’t.  I think everyone deserves something REAL. And real is not blowing smoke up someone’s ass so they think they’re flawless or believing someone when they say these things. Real is knowing that you have flaws and knowing that in most cases, they’re quite visible.  Real is knowing that whoever you are with or your best friend or whoever is telling you they love and care for you actually knows these things and doesn’t try to overlook them because they love you for who you are DESPITE the fact that you’re not perfect.
