Dear Fruzsina:

I think you have excellent insight, especially considering how young you are. If you compare your relationship to ones you see in movies, well, a movie is only two hours long. If a camera captured you and your boyfriend for a month or more (lots of filming, weeks or months- or more- of it so to produce a two hour movie), the short movie of your love story will also appear exciting. In real life, excitement is diluted in long times between the exciting episodes.

And if you compare your relationship with photos people post on Facebook or in the old fashioned photo albums, those photos capture split seconds of visible happiness. Again, in real life, the people having a good time in the photos experience lots of boring and down time in between.
