The Realists

Don�t try to change them. If you can't love them as they are, don't bother.

Always, always, always be yourself.

Love takes an honest commitment. It is hard work, and if handled properly can yield amazing results. Be honest and open. Don't hold back.

You can't appreciate the ups until you go through the downs.

Don't make him/her constantly prove they love you. Just look closely and you'll see for yourself.

Absolute, complete, brutal, embarrassing honesty. In everything. If you don't think you should tell him, you probably should.
