The truth about true love is that it’s often hard. Any relationship, whether it’s romantic, familial or other, needs effort and dedication. The people in the images below know this.

Everyone feels the joy of love. But we all also feel the strain of love. The strange part is that we all feel these things in different ways.

One of the core things that makes us human is that we can empathize with others. You may or may not have gone through what the people below have been through. But your heart must be made of stone if you can’t relate to them.
