They do not know what it is to receive love, so they do not know what it is to love.

We don't spend time with ourselves.

Because we are scared of what we might find.

Your thoughts are your biggest strength, biggest enemy, or biggest competition.

You decide which role they play.

There will always be a gap.

Question is - do you continue compensating for it, or realize it's true for the other side as well.

And when they behave like themselves, you feel disappointed, hurt, and resentful.

But it's quite possible, they have been that way always.

You just expected somebody else!

Because their mind is always giving them reasons of why you will.

They do not know any better.

They need energy from everyone else because they cannot generate it within.

These relationships are rarely giving and take.

They only take.

And you have only so much to give.

They seem easy but are not.

They feel permanent but are not.

They appear trivial but are not.

The more we understand them, the better we get at being happy with ourselves.

They start off awesome.

But the early excitement eventually fades.

Flaws/differences emerge.

Remind yourself why you got into it in the first place.

To be happy!

If you still want the relationship, do whatever it takes to make it happy again.

That toxic friend, lover, even job - you hold on to them because you don't trust yourselves to find it again!
