Quote by A.R. Capetta

“They hand me one lemon, then another, and all I can think when their fingertips leave is that we're mixing ourselves together. That's what happens when skin presses skin. We think of ourselves as solid and separate, but we're not. We trade and swap tiny pieces of ourselves all the time.”

“In long-term relationships, as in families, we often get in the habit of thinking that change isn't possible. We think the other person should change and they won't, so we give up hope. But we need to stop judging and return to our own internal communication. If we wait for our parents or our partner to change, it may take a very long time. If we wait for the other person to change, we may spend all our time waiting. So it's better to change yourself. Don't try to force the other person to change. Even if it takes a long time, you will feel better when you are master of yourself and you are doing your best.”
