About This Quote
To an idealist, nothing is more important than the person they love. However, the world we live in is a harsh and unforgiving place. The people we love may not always be who we want them to be. That doesn't mean they are bad, it just means that they don’t always fit our ideals of perfection. When we find ourselves with a loved one who doesn't live up to our expectations, the best thing we can do is work together on a plan that will allow them to grow into the person we want them to be.
