I guess now you know I watch Gossip Girl. From time to time. Will I ever get over the CW? Maybe not.

Blair is comparing her love for the Prince and her love for Chuck:

Prince: Lighter, simpler, makes me happy
Chuck: a great love, complicated, intense, all consuming, no matter what we do, or how much we fight, it will always pull us in.

But Chuck is soooo spot on. “There’s a difference between a great love… and the right love.”

check it out:

It’s true, “people don’t write sonnets about being compatible, shared life goals, and stimulating conversation…” But marriage is not a sonnet, it’s not a work of art, it’s a life shared with another person, and when it lasts a lifetime, it truly is a miracle. And these things, these things that Blair mentions are exactly what makes marriage wonderful.

Don’t settle for the “great love,” the crazy ones. Settle for the right love. The love that greats you at the end of the day with a hug and a foot rub. The one that wants to sacrifice for your happiness and visa versa. The one that is the stable rock amidst the chaos that is your life and your BIG FANTASTIC SCARY dreams.

If your love life is always a constant drama, what will become of your life? It will dominate all your energy in the worst of ways and you will have nothing reserved to go out and make something of yourself in the world and for the people around you.

Don’t settle for a rollercoaster love affair that always seems to leave you exhausted, drained and wishing for more. You complain about the guy you’re with. You’d rather be with this guy you don’t respect than be alone. Don’t be afraid to be alone. It will only free up your time and energy and tell the world you are ready for that real love.
