My last relationship taught me that there are people who are sincerely predisposed to the simple life: To sleep & wake up to their partners; to go to their small job & its trifles; to raise kids, to go to church on Sundays. & later die as quietly as they lived. And that it& #39;s okay
Unlike me, she didn& #39;t want the world. Didn& #39;t want the fame. Didn& #39;t care for the money. Not like I did. And in my oblivion, I would wake up at 3:00 am. Sleep at 11:00 pm. To get her all the good things I thought she needed. But instead, I was taking away everything she needed.
I look back & I realize that sometimes we unintentionally impose our visions onto our partners. Never asking what they wanted & deciding whether we can meet it. In my quest for ultimate success, I slowly but surely choked the life out of us. I gained the world, but I lost us.
And back then the question that I would ask myself looking at her was; "how could you be satisfied with so little?" I attributed it to a lack of vision/mediocrity/ignorance. In such moments we forget that these people are adults like us. That they also have their visions.
It bothered me that she didn& #39;t want to expand her botique It was doing well, but I am the kind of man who doesn& #39;t know when to stop. I want the world. But at some point, you are going to have to stop & let your partners be. And that if you must proceed, you& #39;ll have to do it alone
