    People like that think if they can do “better” than their peers, they’re winning somehow with relationships.

    They have a fundamental misunderstanding about what relationships are about.

    Which is why theirs fail. They think it’s a game and there’s points and winners and losers.

    They will never learn that it’s about putting someone else’s needs ahead of your own sometimes is what’s best in life.

      I have someone to care for, and she cares for me. That’s all I ever wanted. Her getting excited about my dumb nerd stuff is just a bonus.

      Team effort always. Making each other better. Caring for each other when down.

      It makes me sad some people can get so lost in material things and lose the thing that makes us human.
