Jodie Foster on relationships:
Being in a relationship is about solving problems together, problems you probably wouldn’t even have if you were single. And that’s the irony of love: it comes with its own set of challenges, struggles, and sacrifices.
When you’re single, life can feel simpler. You only have to worry about your own choices, your own plans, your own peace. But the moment you decide to share your life with someone else, it’s no longer just your world, it becomes our world. Suddenly, you’re solving problems about communication, trust, money, time, family, future goals, even silly things like “what are we eating today?” And yes, sometimes it feels like these problems wouldn’t even exist if you were on your own.
But here’s the truth: relationships aren’t about running away from problems, they’re about building the strength to face them together. They’re about learning to compromise, to let go of pride, to listen when you’d rather argue, to forgive when it would be easier to walk away.
It’s not about finding someone who makes life perfect, it’s about finding someone who makes all those imperfections worth it. Someone who stands with you in the storms, not just in the sunshine. Someone you can laugh with after a fight, someone who reminds you why love is worth the effort.
Because in the end, being in a relationship isn’t about avoiding problems, it’s about choosing the person you’d rather go through them with. That’s where real love lives. ❤️
