Quote
When I was younger, I would dive into my relationships. Push forward with someone until I saw where they were limited and then I would try to change them. Eventually, trying to change someone became boring so I just left them.
Now, if you’re older and wiser you will realize you can’t really change anybody. Instead, you move your relationship very slowly to make sure you can live with all of this person’s habits, issues and limitations. And more importantly, that they can live with you and your projections.
