Signs Struggle Love Is All You Know - Page 8

All of us have gone through a struggle period on the long, winding, tired road to finding love. But there’s a difference between struggling to find love and struggle love being the norm. See struggle love is that never a moment of peace, I don’t know why I put up with his mess, but I love him type of love that’s more trouble than it’s worth. Every woman gets caught up maybe once in a lifetime in a situation like that, but if the following behaviors are commonplace for you, it’s time to do better boo and open your mind to the possibility it doesn’t have to be like this. Love is hard, but not this damn hard.

Mary J. Blige, Keyshia Cole, and K. Michelle are your favorite artists (in that order).

And you actually got mad at Mary J. when she was in her happy place.

All of your relationship stories start with “N-ggas ain’t sh-t.”

You think I’m just hating.
