The love we give others depends on the stability of our heart. How far we are willing to go just to watch them be happy. It is not a sacrifice, but a compromise we dont mind making.
How much love we receive, depends on how much we think we are worth.
It is never a 50/50. Someone has to ride harder than the other to keep everything balance. Sometimes, if they are lucky, their effort gets reciprocated. But most of the time, they are fighting their own war. And heres the amazing thing: they know that they are not your priority. But thats okay. They would rather lose themselves than to lose you. This is how big their heart is.
