About This Quote

The people that truly love us in life don't fight for us to remain a doormat for others. When someone loves you and wants you to be happy, they will fight like hell to make sure you stay happy. They don't want you to live your life as a doormat and they want you to be the best person you can possibly be. When we make mistakes, if we truly love someone we learn from them and we try our best not to make the same mistake again.
