About This Quote
Those who love you, don't try to change you. Don't try to fix anything because it won't work. You can love someone so much and still be jealous of them. Love makes you feel powerful and strong, but you can also fall under the spell of jealousy.
It's easy to get jealous when you're in love with someone who loves someone else. The best thing that can happen is to learn how to love yourself despite the fact that that person might love someone else more than they like you.
