"I hear & I forget, I see & I remember. I do & I understand."
if you love someone, ask them for something.

If you love someone, ask them for nothing,
LOVE
Don’t hold them back from their destiny.
Don’t keep them from going off in search of their own answers.
You will know commitment is real when it's something given willingly and not as something obligatory.
Don’t ask them for promises.
If you are patient, if you have faith, you will know in your heart when the right time for promises has come, and when that time arrives,
then you will see that you have both lost nothing by setting each other free,
and have instead gained a richer, fuller life,
a wealth of experiences,
and a stronger certainty of your desires.
But if they do not return to you,
then life hasn’t cheated you because no promises were broken.
Your bitterness will not last long,
and you will feel thankful and blessed that at the very least,
this beautiful soul has colored your life,
that knowing them has already made life infinitely more meaningful.
Always remember!
You found them beautiful precisely because they were free.
People are like sunlight. You can feel their warmth, and their glow,
but you can’t hold them in your hand and keep them with you forever.
People CHOOSE to stay.
But a choice is made more meaningful when it is made despite so many other options.
So, if you love someone and
ask them for nothing,
they will come back to you.
XOXO
