People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each others personalities. Who wouldnt? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But thats not the clever trick.

Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and its always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.
