Quote of the day: "Don't expect people to love you like you do. Expect them to love you the best they can do. Expect them to give you room to breathe and to have the curtsy to leave when you're not compatible anymore. Expect them to be themselves when they are with you, even if it doesn't fit your ideals, especially when it doesn't fit. The most beautiful gift friends, family (chosen or by blood), and romantic relations can give you, is to be their authentic selves. it's to feel safe enough with you that they love you honestly. It's to feel safe enough with you, to love you without artifices but to give you their love, raw, unfiltered, authentic. Don't expect people to love you like you do. Expect them to be authentic with you."
<--- brought to you by my friend C. We've been discussing emotions, love, and relationships and we've noticed that our best relationships were the most authentic ones. It wouldn't always be rainbows, it wouldn't always be fun. It would sometimes be hard, difficult, and scary because life is messy. But it would be authentic and honest and real. As long as people are true to themselves and to you, then it doesn't matter how they love you.
Lots of words to just say that I love you and appreciate the way you show me your affection. Thank you 🙂
