If people can only love you when things are going good, but disappear when things get difficult

or too real… that’s not love.

Because real love isn’t based on good days only.

It’s built in the hard moments. The times when things don’t look good, don’t feel good, and don’t go as planned.

And that’s why you can’t ignore how people showed up for you during your lowest moments.

So don’t give full access to people who only show up when it benefits them.

Because real love doesn’t disappear when things get hard.

Real love stays. Real love supports. Real love doesn’t pick and choose when to be there.

And once you experience that… you realize real love isn’t perfect— it’s consistent.

It stays.

4/18 Edited to

In my experience, understanding real love comes down to witnessing how someone shows up during the hardest times, not just the easiest. I’ve seen friends and partners drift away when things didn’t go as planned or when emotions ran high. It’s easy for people to be present when life is smooth, but the real test of love is their presence when you’re vulnerable. Consistency over perfection is what builds trust and deep connection. When you experience setbacks or mood swings, someone who truly cares won’t disappear or judge—they will support and stand by you. I remember going through a rough patch where everything felt overwhelming, and the one who stuck with me without resentment showed me what real love looks like. Also, it’s important to set boundaries and not allow those who only come around when it’s convenient to have full access to your life. True love isn’t transactional or conditional—it doesn’t pick and choose based on benefit. The quotes from Queen Naija, ‘If they weren’t there at your lowest, they don’t deserve you at your highest’ and ‘If you can’t see me and accept me at my worst, then you don’t deserve me at my best,’ truly resonate. They highlight how love involves acceptance of imperfections, bad days, and difficult attitudes. Being ‘in it for the long run’ means embracing the ups and downs equally. Real love is imperfect, but its foundation is commitment and reliability. This understanding changed how I view relationships—no longer focusing on flawless moments but on unwavering presence through good and bad alike.
