8. True love lasts

真爱持续久

Think back to those casual relationships where your significant other wiping his nose on your bath towel was enough to end it. Those relationships are immature¹, and whatever you thought you experienced wasn’t love. When you’re truly in love, problems like this are just small bumps² in the road. No problem seems insurmountable. You’re more than willing to work through anything, just to stay together.

想想那些因为用你洗澡毛巾擦脸就草草结束的恋爱吧。这些都是不成熟的，你的想法和经历都不叫爱情。当真正爱的时候，这些困难都只是小事而已。似乎没有什么困难不可逾越。你更乐意两个人一起，战胜一切。

9. True love is committed

真爱是坚定的

It’s human nature to be attracted to other people, to allow your head to be turned by an attractive passerby³. Don’t let this make you feel guilty. As long as you’re committed to your partner, your relationship is fine. When you’re truly in love, you don’t want to be with anyone else. You can’t imagine spending your time without your sweetheart.

被其他人吸引是人的本性。要允许自己为美丽的路人扭个头看一眼。不用为此感到负罪。只要你对另一半是坚定地，这段感情就很坚定。真爱的时候，你不会想和其他人在一起。你无法忍受那些没有他的时光。

10. YOU are the love of your life

你才是生活里的真爱

Don’t forget that you need to love yourself. Self love is important, but it’s not something you should achieve and then throw away once you’re with your partner. You must stay in love with yourself for your entire life. If you start to dislike yourself or what you’re doing, you need to change just enough to stay on track, to stay true to yourself, and to stay in love with yourself.

别忘了你也需要爱自己。自爱十分重要，哪怕有了另一半也不能忘记好好爱自己。你必须一生与自己相爱。如果你开始讨厌自己或是自己做的事情，你需要改变一下步入正轨，对自己坦白，也要与自己相爱。
