The question was whether James would love me if I was someone else.

About This Quote

The question was whether James would love me if I was someone else. It seems like it is easier to ask if James would love me if I was someone else than it is to ask if I would love James as he is. Love is something that takes time and develops over time. We can’t expect our partner to be the same person we were when we first met them.

Our partner’s personality and situation can be different than before we met them and we need to adjust and grow with them. It is important to love someone as they are, not as we want them to be.
