About This Quote

There are times when you come to the realization that your loved one does not see what you see. At some point, it dawns on you that your loved one has eyes that only see what is in front of them. The things that are important to you are not important to them. You cannot change what they do or think about things, but you can change how they see the world. Junot Díaz wrote in his book "This Is How You Lose Her," "You can’t make someone understand something unless they want to understand it." That means that if their reality is at odds with yours, then there is nothing that can be done about it.
