Too Good To Be True Doesn't Mean It's Not Real

No one is perfect, nothing is perfect, but some things do come together perfectly.

Too Good To Be True Doesn't Mean It's Not Real
Katie Pyle

We hear it all the time, "it's just too good to be true." We're all guilty of thinking it or saying it at one point or another, but what do we really mean when we say this? We find something or someone that seems perfect and we immediately ask ourselves what the catch could be, what the hidden flaw is or worry about how we could mess it up. We're looking at these situations as something that's too good to be true and it's scary when something is finally working and it finally fits together. Why are we so set on finding the one flaw in a seemingly perfect situation?

No one is perfect, nothing is perfect but some things do come together perfectly. We shouldn't be scared just because someone or something finally comes together. In life we have little bumps in the road there's no avoiding it, what we seem to forget is that all of these "bumps" are part of our story that brings us to where we're meant to be. The bumps teach us lessons but also teach us how to appreciate someone so much more when we're in a good spot.

It's important for us to stop looking at things as too good to be true, it makes us anxious, feeling like it's bound to come to an end because you can't believe this could actually be happening. I always catch myself holding my breath in certain situations that I'm so happy in because I don't want things to change, but when I do this I forget to truly enjoy the moment. If you have a good thing going, embrace it, embrace every moment, every phase and every step of the way, even embrace the changes you face. Change doesn't have to be a bad thing, change can be growing with this person; chances are if it's fitting together and is just too good to be true, maybe you found your person, right where you're supposed to be and you'll face changes together rather than apart. Just because things change doesn't mean things are going downhill, things can change for the better and in all reality, things are always changing for the better; letting things come together that are meant to.

When the most unexpected things fit together, run with it. Don't look for something to be wrong, be grateful and know you're lucky to have found something or someone like this for you. Trust your instincts, if you have something that's going great, let it. It's working out for a reason. Everything always works out in the end, things come together the way they were meant to, but we can't forget to put our own feet in motion. If you care about something, express it; you can't take a moment back but you can make that moment grow into something incredible. Too good to be true, may just become your reality.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
