Love will inspire you to become a patient person. When you choose to be patient, you respond in a positive way to a negative situation. You are slow to anger. You choose to have a long fuse instead of a quick temper. Rather than being extending mercy to those around you. Patience brings an internal calm during an external storm.
A Penny For My Thoughts.
Guys always want to feel appreciated, yet they never appreciate that their girlfriends want to spend and share every moment she with him. He only feels suffocated and wants to be alone with his friends. When she has a bad day, all she wants to do is talk to him. When she’s sad, she just wants to be in his arms. When she’s happy, she wants to share the moment with him. When she’s hungry, she wonders if he has eaten yet. When she’s alone, she’s thinking about him and wondering what he’s doing, who he’s talking to, who he’s sharing his happy moments with, who he’s venting to about his bad days, who he’s eating with, who he’s winding down his day with..
It’s a funny thing, really. He doesn’t know how much he’s appreciated and how much his company means to her. He gets frustrated with her, needs days apart to enjoy being in her company, chooses to enjoy his free time with recreational activities, spends his time with other people who only care about themselves..
He wanted her to changed the way she dressed, so she went from tiny dresses, tank tops and shorts to a sophisticated, feminine dresses, floral prints, blazers, and pants. He wanted to her to act more her age, so she lessened her drinking, changed her childish personality, and cleaned up her look with simple makeup. He wanted her to surround herself with better people, so she let go of her past friends and made new friends. He told her to busy herself, so she graduated from college and got a job.
Now look at her. She’s grown up, her mind is matured, her act and appearance are cleaned up, and she’s ready to be taken seriously, ready to grow together. Where’s her boyfriend now?
Still where he was when they started dating. Just wants to chill.
So, tell me. Why was I rushed to change, forced to grow up, advised to be more mature or it wouldn’t work out? Why? Why did I take those 10 steps forward only to look back and see that he hasn’t moved at all? Why didn’t we take those 10 steps forward together? And why do you choose to stay where you are now? Why am I alone now?
when life said take the more challenging path, it forgot to mention that sometimes the more challenging path is just plain stupid. full of stupid things to make it challenging. i’m not saying i’m a quitter, just saying i’m not down with stupid shit. challenging would be trying harder to make things better. NOT seeing how much bullshit you can deal with.
