i want to be the one
who breaks down the stereotypical love. the stereotypical-prince-saves-damsel-in-distress-type love. i can’t tell the future or anything, but i don’t ever want to be the ‘damsel in distress’ waiting for a prince to ride over to sweep me off my feet. that’s a no-no! i want to be able to meet him halfway, and vice versa.
a wise man once told me, in relationships - you give 70% and you only expect 30%. i guess you can say i overlooked that a little. because the more you get, the more you expect - right? that should never be the case. that’s what you call selfish. but i could never forget what he said. therefore, i know i have faults in my past relationship. and there was nothing for me to do besides prove to him i could change. but you can’t really show improvement or change to someone who isnt interested in being with you anymore.. is there?
as much pride as i had, i couldn’t admit how selfish i was. i was though. doesn’t everybody believe they deserve a good partner? but not everyone thinks about being a good partner before being able to deserve a good partner.
thanks for all these life lessons. i’m sure they’ll lead me somewhere better in the future or maybe they’ll lead me closer to you someday..
