11 things ‘Nobody Wants This’ Taught Us About Love

I admit, I was skeptical about the hype, but I’ve watched Nobody Wants This twice 😂. (Next binge watch will be Jilly Cooper Rivals, which gives off a very different vibe 👠)

And we’re all obsessed.

For me, this series hit differently, because it’s a representation of a different kind of love: one where you’re a little bit older, where healthy communication is prioritised, and people have to make huge decisions. It's not a fairytale. There's no chasing the unavailable guy. He sees her and she sees him. 

I also think it touched so many people because it shone a light on our fears and vulnerabilities…

💛 That you’re not too much, that someone can see you, and love you for who you are.

💛 That it’s ok to be vulnerable with the right person

💛 That we want the kind of relationship where we can bear our soul and still be supported

💛 That love doesn’t have to happen in your 20’s and like a fairytale.

SO, here are 11 things that we can all learn and be reminded of (most of which I personally went through!) 

👉 Someone will come along and love you for all the reasons you thought they might not

👉 Keep being yourself

👉 Love doesn’t always come in the package/ form you expect

👉 We need to be open to the unexpected and allow for surprises

👉 Timing plays a helluva role

👉 Relationships are built through healthy communication, compromise and vulnerability

👉 It might not always be plain sailing, but communication is key

👉 You can get past the ick

👉 Family/ friends might not always love the changes a new relationship brings

👉 It’s ok to get carried away and then change your mind

👉 Practicality, goals and life vision play a huge part in long term success
