The truth about love

There's no secret about the fact that I love Pink. She's smart, sassy and confident. She's successful in her chosen career. She is strong and portrays a healthy lifestyle; keeping fit and active.

I love her music - bold, passionate and honest. She sings from the heart about things that really matter to her.

Her song 'The Truth About Love' is raw and powerful. In my opinion the truth about love is the same as the truth about happiness - they're both fleeting. They exist in moments of time.

Most of a relationship is mundane - logistics and getting through the trials of daily life. It's about "what's for dinner?", "where do you want to go today?" and "for God's sake, please take out the rubbish". It is dealing with tissues stuffed into the side of the couch and empty drink bottles all over the house. It is putting aside the fact that the toilet roll is never replaced when it is finished and the bathmat is left on the floor after a shower rather than hung up to dry. Relationships are hard work.

Love comes into play when you've had a shit day and your man wraps you in his arms and doesn't let go in a hurry. Love is when you want to stay in bed an extra three minutes in the warmth of embrace even if it means you have to rush to get to work on time. Love is greeting someone with a smile at the door when they get home. Love is found in the little things you do for each other that makes the mundane shit, the obligatory parts of life, easier to deal with.
