Say you have an addiction. This addiction literally makes you high. Just the sheer mention of it brings that starry look into your eyes. Nothing grabs hold of you the way it does. Nothing takes over your senses the way it does. Nothing can make you do crazy things the way it does. Do you let it go?
Now say your addiction is a person. Nobody moves you the same way. Nobody's voice is like theirs. Nobody's touch, smell, feel... HOW do you let that go?
I've witnessed so many people who are head over heels with one person only to give up on them to go from extraordinarily in love to ordinarily in a "safe" relationship. They claim they're happy but everyone (including them) knows they're not. 9 times out of 10, they end up going through a messy break-up, divorce or just suffer through a relationship that should probably never have been to begin with.
My question is.. when there's nobody else better than the person you love how do you go from more than you ever wanted to something you never needed?

From extraordinary.. to ordinary

It's far easier to be committed to the idea of being in a wonderful relationship than it is to committing to working to build such a relationship. At the beginning, it's new, it's fresh, it's a mere idea. Therefore, it's exciting to think about the endless possibilities. As time passes, the reality of it starts to set in. It's now more than just an idea. Abruptly, people often realize that it's going to take more time, more effort. Some will begin to backtrack as they embrace this reality, while others may continue. Nonetheless, some will still lose interest in proceeding as they find the remaining climb too steep.
To succeed, it takes two people united as one committed to a common cause - loving one another more than the last day...despite their imperfections. With love, there must be a willingness to compromise, but an unwillingness to compromise loving one another!
