Gabrielle ZevinI wondered if the person who really loves you is the person who knows all your stories, the person who WANTS to know all your stories.
About This Quote
The quote above is an interesting one. It is a great reminder that there are two sides to every story. The person who really loves you does not necessarily know every single detail about your life. They do not need to.
Depending on how much you open up to them, they may only know the most important parts. If you want to love someone, then it is important that they do not know EVERYTHING about you, but they do need to know the most important things in your life.
