How I missed this! Writing feels rusty and scary. All the words I’ve managed to gather for this article feel foreign in a way but also comfortable. But I have missed it. I’ve missed being part of this community and I’ve missed book talking and loving characters and authors. Be gentle with me while I find a rhythm that sticks this time.
Happy Monday!!!
How was your weekend and how is your Monday so far? I read and read a lot. I’ve finished two books in the past 3
days and that is more than I have read… in the past 5 months, so I am happy! The book quote for this week is from Elsie Silver’s “A Photo Finish”, which is book 2 in the Gold Rush Ranch series. I’ll review book 1 in the coming days, but this one was… amazing! It was difficult deciding on a quote, as I marked so many!
Don’t pick a man who needs fixing—or changing—to meet your needs. He either wants to, or he doesn’t. And if you need to convince him, he doesn’t love you the way you deserve.
The reason why this one stuck is because it hit so close to home. First of all, it applies both to men and women, as far as I’m concerned. The way I see it, one should never expect the other to change. We care about each other with all the good and the bad. The flaws make us unique and special. The flaws are what make the other person special for accepting them and for giving us the patience to adjust, on our own terms. And we change because we want to be better for the relationship and ourselves.
In my case, there could be a lot said. A long time ago I expected my partner to change, I was hoping things would be better in time. But I learned my lesson since then. I guess I grew 10 years 🙂 We live and learn.
How do you deal with this? Were you asked to change? Did you do it for your significant other especially? Let me know in the comments below, I’d love your view on this 🙂
Until next time, stay positive and read a lot!
