A quote I found:
“Because, that’s the thing about love, really. No one will love you how you want to be loved; they’ll love you in the only ways they know how. Life throws everyone down drastically different paths so how can we expect everyone to love in the same way? The person you’ll spend your lifetime with will love you in their way and you’ll love in yours, and maybe you’ll meet in the middle and it’ll last. None of us know what we’re doing, you see, we’re just fumbling for matches in the dark. If you’re lucky, you might eventually just strike the right one.”
It’s true. Everyone loves, just in the only way they know how. You can’t expect someone to love you the way you want them to – they might not know how to. But if someone loves you and tells you so, and they mean it, just believe that. Don’t get upset because they don’t love you in the way you want them to. Don’t get upset because they don’t dote on you every second of every day or surprise you with flowers every chance they get. Just know that they love you as much as they can and as best as they know how. If you know & believe that they love you with their whole heart, isn’t that enough? They shouldn’t have to change the WAY they love you simply because you want them to.
Successful relationships aren’t built off trying to change someone into someone you can love.
Successful relationships are built off finding an imperfect person, and loving them perfectly; loving them, just the way they are, with all their flaws & quirks.
If you’re lucky enough to find someone you love, and who loves you back – never, EVER take that for granted. It might not always be there.
Enjoy it and cherish it with all your being, because that’s the only way to live – by cherishing the things that are wonderful in our lives.
If you are lucky enough to have amazing and wonderful people in your life – make sure you tell them; make sure you tell them how much you care for & love them and treasure their existence in your life – you never know when they might not be there anymore.
