About This Quote

Relationships are like carts. You can't make everyone in your life fit in perfectly because some people aren’t all the way in the cart. For example, you might be in love with someone, but they might not love you back because of how you acted when you were together. If there was no baggage, then yes, everything would be great, but that’s not the case because words hurt and it's difficult to overcome all the hurt that comes with relationships. That’s why you should never expect people to be just the way you liked them to be.
