Should We Settle for Less?

“Just because someone does not love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.”

Well that may be a nice little quote, and it might ring true to a certain extent, but the question I have is, why settle for less then what we want out of love? If you actually sit back and think about this, this is pretty much what people seem to do in relationships. Why would you want to be with someone who doesn’t love you the way you want to be loved? Don’t you think that you’d be deserving of that?

I know I would, and I sure as hell wouldn’t be in a relationship and go around saying, yeah he/she loves me, but not the way I want him/her too, which means there is something missing that you just aren’t getting, or you’re settling for what you have just to have something. At least a little bit of love? That little bit of something, and in this case I’m not quite sure a little goes a long way here.

I could also be taking the quote the wrong way, but I can read, …”doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have..” well apparently that all they have just really isn’t enough.

I’m no expert but I’ve been in a lot of relationships where I was treated badly or it just wasn’t there and after a while I had to ask myself what the hell am I doing?

 So I had to assist what it was that I wanted to be loved like, what I wanted out of a relationship, how I wanted and deserved to be treated, I suddenly realized, I’ve wasted so much of my time and energy on something that was never ever meant to be.

Not only because I wasn’t happy but because we both weren’t happy, and to prolong a relationship such as that just simply because there may be something there, some things that were good, but mostly it just wasn’t enough, was again a waste of time because neither one of us would ever change. Or be happy.

I would like some feed back on this, granted, I’m runnin on no sleep pepsi and cigarettes and back in forth writing a paper for school, but alas, this just kind of irks me. I think it would just save a lot of feelings, and time. Why give 20/30 when you could both be giving 50/50?
