I like you just the way you aren't and you like me just the way I'm not.

Communication isn't easy. You always expect people to react as you would. You always expect people to follow the conversation you were having in your own head. You always expect. This is the main problem. When people are different than you, and believe me - they are, you blame them for it. What did you expect? Did you really and sincerely think that everyone is like you? That everyone has the same fears, the same passions, the same dreams? We're all chasing something else. We're all leading our life the way we want to.

Expectations can break relationships, they can ruin them. When someone we love doesn't give us what we expected them to, we end up disappointed. But why blame them? You're the only one who was imagining things. Don't hold them responsible for what they haven't even caused. Stop expecting. Start appreciating people for who they are, not who you want them to be.
