Expectations

Above is a quote I wrote earlier as I was deep in thought like I usually am in the wee hours of the morning. That’s a huge thing I learned this year. I’ve stopped taking things personally and stopped blaming others for the way I feel. It took a lot for me to realize that nobody was hurting me, I was hurting myself for asking the sky to be green instead of blue. I’ve had to make some big decisions about my relationships. Some I had to completely let go of because I knew I needed more than they could give, and some I had to just take a couple steps back from in order for the relationship to stay healthy. Nobody loves the same way and it’s unfair of me to expect others to love me the way I love them. My love needs to be unconditional.
