Expectations
Posted by cowboyboot lady under Uncategorized
An expectation is a premeditated resentment.
I have the right to choose my own standards of conduct, but I do not have the right or the power to impose those standards on others.
Trying to change other people is futile, foolish, and certainly not loving.
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves and not to twist them to fit our own image.
Words of wisdom indeed.
Hope you’re doing okay.
I am a close friend of Leslie’s. I’ve noticed your comments on her blog and thought your profile name was interesting, so I checked out your blog. I am sorry about your recent breakup. I recently experienced a painful breakup, too. The relationship was a lot shorter, but it was still very painful. I admire how brave you are. I wish you all the best.
