People aren’t always what you want them to be. Sometimes they disappoint you or let you down, but you have to give them a chance first. You can’t just meet someone and expect them to be everything you’re looking for and then be angry when they’re not every hope and aspiration you projected onto them. It’s foolish to believe that someone will be what you imagine them to be. And sometimes, when you give them a chance, they turn out to be better than you imagined. Different, but better. Chloe Rattray
About This Quote

When you meet someone new, you have to give them a chance. This is true in any relationship. It can be romantic, family or friends. At the beginning, I thought that he was the greatest person I would ever meet.

This lasted for a while but then when things started to get serious, I realized that he wasn’t what I envisioned him to be. Different, but better.
