Change


How are you? I hope that you’re all doing great. I’m doing fine, although I was a bit sick last week. Well, a few days ago, a very good friend of mine wrote and told me that her boyfriend wishes her to change, attitude-wise, being that she doesn’t give her arm to twist. But honestly, I can’t understand, because she’s a real sweetie, and also a hard-worker, a struggler, good mother, good friend and all in all, she’s a wonderful person. I wrote her back and told her that in my opinion, she doesn’t need to change, but if she has to change, it has to be because she wants that change herself. And if he when he met her, accepted her like that, then he doesn’t need to complain now. Here’s something about that topic.

Bye.

Sincerely,

Pedro

Change


You cannot change other people. You love them the way they are or you don’t. You accept them the way they are or you don’t. But sometimes we try to change them; why can’t we allow a person to be itself and love them just the way that person is, without trying to change them? Sometimes we think, what if I am not with the right person? And what is the right person? Someone who wants to go in the same direction as you do, someone compatible with your views and your values. But the right person for you is the one you love just the way that person is, the one you don’t have the need to change at all. Because if someone wants to change you, it means you are not what that person wants.
