About This Quote

Some people confuse intensity for passion and challenge for attraction. I’ve observed that some people enter into relationships with the intention of finding a new challenge. Their reason is to feel more alive and to get a better sense of purpose and self-esteem. Because of this, they will often find themselves falling in love with someone who is very different from them. It can be challenging and intense, but not necessarily passionate and attractive.
