“He’s my unicorn”
At first I didn’t get what my friend meant.
“He’s the guy that I always dreamed about existing. Too perfect, making me happier than I thought possible. And I found him. And we’re finally together.”

This is how my friend described her new boyfriend. Though it was several years ago, that term has always stuck with me, probably because, I think that’s a very good way to put it.
Every relationship begins with a crush, an attraction. The person of interest is a dream. You could only WISH to be with them, to be their boy/girlfriend, to know everything about them, and grow with them. They are, a unicorn: “unbelievable”. Isn’t this the truth? No one goes into a relationship (seriously) with someone they’re not crazy about.
But sadly, at some point, this excitement, this appeal, this idea of perfection fades. Why? You couldn’t WAIT to see them, to hear from them. You would give anything to be WITH them… Somewhere along the line, the unicorn, just became a regular horse. And it is because of this, in my opinion, that the majority of relationships out there do not last. He or she is no longer “that special” and so you both start to act differently, or do stupid things that eventually lead to breaking up.

To me, the saddest part about a relationship that did not work out, is the inevitable path both parties are on to become strangers. They start out as strangers, grow to learn about each other, eventually become each others’ lives, and then break up, and return to being strangers again. To think, that at some point, you knew when your bf/gf slept or woke up…what they ate for lunch…you knew their entire schedule of the week. And then… not even knowing where they are living anymore. To me, that is so unfortunate, but it’s what we must all go through at some point.
