The garden of butterflies (Mario Quintana, Brazilian poet, translated by me)
When you deposit too much expectation or trust in a person, the risk of being disappointed is very high.
People are not in this world to meet our expectations, and we're not here to meet theirs.
We have to suffice... suffice ourselves with or without being with someone else,
We have to realize that we're together because we like each other and because we want and we feel good being together, never because we need someone.
People do not need each other, they complement themselves... not because they are halves, but because they are a whole, willing to share common goals, joy and life.
Sometime in the future you will realize that to be happy with someone else, you need first, do not depend on it.
You will also realize that the person you loved and think you still love, and that doesn’t want anything with you, definitely was not the right person for your life.
Then, you will learn to like yourself, take care about yourself and especially love who also likes you.
The secret is not chasing butterflies... the secret is gardening so that they come to you.
At the end, you will find not who you were looking for, but who was looking for you!
