How about having no expectations? When you have no expectations, you don't get hurt. Everything the other person gives you is a wonderful gift that makes you happy, while s/he feels free. Why are these expectations that important to you? And why do you get hurt when they are not met in the first place?
I think when you're in love, it falls apart and you get hurt, that's because you think something like "if I tell her that I love her, and she doesn't love me, <insert some horrible catastrophe here>." But why should you feel bad just because she's not in love with you?
It's not mutual? So what? It's wonderful all the same. |
