Great Quote

So these past two weeks have been really tough on my... I recently broke up with my boyfriend (lame I know) that I had dated for about 7 months and had talked about marrying. My mother sent me this quote afterward that I absolutely LOVED and was a great reminder of why I ended the relationship with him... 

I had actually asked him if he and I could go on a break for awhile so we could both figure out if this was right or not. I realized during this time that he wasn't the best example and influence on me, or other people... I needed to feel like I was becoming a better person WITH him, but I was feeling like I was trying to pull him up to a higher level. I'm not saying that to be prideful. I just try to hold myself to a higher standard and can tend to hold other people to the same standard as me, which isn't fair... As a result I tend to judge people harshly without just accepting and loving them for who they are. However, in marriage you really do need to have someone that you feel "equally yoked" with; someone that has similar desires of improving, and actually does something about it. You're going to be together for a LONG time!! Anyways... this is definitely a new goal for me, to associate myself with people of good quality, that I would want to become more like, especially in a more romantic relationship.
