"Romantic" and "Real"

"In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love, you want the other person." -
Margaret Anderson
  

Romantic love - ah the vision, the thoughts, and the person.  Romantic love often occurs in the head, and not in reality.  "Romantic" love does not necessarily withstand reality.  Something like a photograph or a vision of what love is.

"Real" love occurs in real life, where the relationship is not imagined, there is connection, there is visibility there is availability there is vulnerability, there is truth.  Have many thoughts on this and will share as the days unfold.

And, a combination of both is a treasure.  In this community what you think matters, please share.
