I was doing some thinking today, and I think the last life lesson that I solidified before turning 30 is this: You can never, ever enter a relationship expecting the other person to change.
It's simply wrong. It's selfish, misguided, and even risky. Like, if you're even thinking about going into something with the idea of changing someone as one of the stipulations of it "working out," it's a guarantee that it's SO not going to work out.
Like, think about it the other way around. What if someone were interested in you, but had an underlying purpose of changing some aspect of who you are or the way you live your life in order to suit their purposes? It seems almost offensive. Again, it's just wrong.
It's human nature, though. That's for sure. I had to learn a few hard lessons before getting that one down.
