When life gives you lemons

Sour lemons

What if, instead of resenting someone for not fitting the exact image you had of them, you recognize that their offering of time is a profound sacrifice and a true expression of love?
What if you understand that they are not obligated to meet your expectations, and the most loving act you can perform is to release them from the constraints of your own preconceived notions?
What if you realize that they don't need to be precisely as you envisioned in order for you to share the love you are destined to give?
What if the true gift is the opportunity to witness the unfiltered essence of their heart, complete with all its edges and imperfections?
What if this journey is encouraging you to love a flawed person, so you can learn to embrace your own imperfections in the same way?
