Here's another thing I know.
Love means acceptance. Loving someone means you would accept them for who and what they are. But this doesn't mean that you must always be happy with what their choices and actions. When you love someone, it doesn't mean that you must not feel sad and troubled by their conduct, especially when it goes against your values. Yes, it's all right to not be okay about some of the things they do.
And so vice versa. People who love you may not always approve your decision. It may not be easy for them to accept some of your lifestyle. But guess what, if they know that that's just who you are, they may still stick around anyway and keep their sentiments or opinions to themselves and wish you the best of luck so that you won't suffer at the end.
When you love and are loved, you gotta make room for these little doubts and pains and not let them destroy the relationship. Allowing and accepting other people or ourselves to feel this make the relationship even stronger and healthier. Because even when the object of your affection doesn't always make you happy, you don't love them any less.
And that's love. Real love.
