Maybe there is no such thing as a mistake if we really needed it to learn more about who we are and how we love.

Still, there are those loves we wish we could rewind and just take back. The ones whose endings were too painful for us.

But, no matter how much we wished that this Love was something other than what it was, it will never change the reality that the only reason we needed this Love in our lives was to break our hearts.

Often times the biggest mistake of our lives is a relationship that we should have walked away from the minute it began or at the very least we should have let go of long before we actually did, and way before it all went downhill.

But we did not, and it is not because that Love was meant to be, but because without it we might never have realized what Love truly is.

Our worst mistake and our deepest heartbreak is the Love of our life. There will be battles to conquer and qualities to be changed. There will be unfulfilled needs and drama around every corner.

The Love of your life is going to show you why none of your previous relationships worked out.

The Love of our life will not look or feel like anything you have ever experienced. Only the Love of your life can raise you to greatness.

You realize that it is not necessarily who someone is, but rather what type of person they bring out in you that determines whether it is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of Love.

The one that teaches us lessons about who we are and how we often want or need to be loved. This is the kind of Love that hurts, whether through lies, pain or manipulation. Sometimes it is unhealthy, unbalanced or narcissistic.

There will be emotional, mental and physical abuse or manipulation – there will be high levels of drama.

This is exactly what keeps us addicted to it, because it is the emotional roller coaster of extreme highs and lows and like a junkie trying to get a fix, we stick through the lows with the expectation of the high.
