"My question is How do you lower on what you expect of other people?"
Several years back I had an online friend I got a crush on...
When I knew she was fat, I shrank back (I know why) and she wanted me to be cracked (she has a doctorate in Psychology and still works to help ppl to overcome their problems with obesity, in Valencia)
She TAUGHT me a lot of things.
She is the most beautiful person I have loved (at distance). I never accepted to show up, because I know me well.
She told me, on time, she loved an engineer, a professional and, when they met, she knew he was on a wheel chair (that broke her heart) but she loved him, until the last day.
One day, as she told me, the Police phone called her (she got so nervous and it downed on her).
Before that man died, the last phone call he did, was to listen her voice (and believe me her voice is so SPECIAL).
They both had a real love affair. She said she loved him to his last breath.
-We´re calling you to know who you are -said the policeman-. The owner of this phoned died and, the last person he called, was this number and we wanted to check why he called...
She said what she needed to say.
That engineer, for having lost one or two legs, had to work in a booth (his own business) renting phones or selling candies to get his daily living (some ppl are really handicapped by society and those markets who sell IMAGES, instead of social services).
That friend almost shed tears when she told me that, his last breath, his last words, were just for her, a beautiful woman who help too many ppl to overcome their emotional limitations and -also- their problem with being overweighted.
How do I respond to love? With love!
Being loved is a miracle.
I don´t believe ugliness is really outside, but INSIDE, the way how we perceive love and ppl.
Those who are "young" and attractive -today- also have the chance to be picky but, time will tell all (as I also learned)
