There's a story behind every person. There's a reason why they're the way they are. Everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something. You should never go into any relationship thinking you can change the other person, you can't change someone unless they want to change. People don't change, they just become a clearer version of who they really are. If you truly want to be with someone, see them for their heart and not their past.
