Henrik IbsenYou see, there are some people that one loves, and others that perhaps one would rather be with.
About This Quote
The person who we love and the ones we wish we were with are different things. Not everyone we love is someone to be with and not everyone we wish we were with is someone we love. The person who we love and the ones we wish we were with sometimes differ because of their faults. They can be selfish, self-centered, or even downright mean.
If they’re always mean to you, it’s not like you can change them or that they would change for you. And, if they’re always selfish, it’s not like you can make them act otherwise; they don’t want to act differently themselves.
