Meet Me Halfway

Words come easily, but actions do not always match up to the things you should say. 

I will ask a lot of you, and I expect a lot of you. My ideals are not easy to fulfil, and I am a demanding mistress. It is a choice you will make if you choose to take this path, and it is a choice that you must make with your eyes wide open, not blinded by emotion, your rose tinted glasses or your endless optimism.

There will be times where I am harsh and demanding, but it is because I see the potential within you, and I know you have the ability to be more than you are, more now and a hundred times over. There will be times where I expect a lot, because the best things in life are worth fighting for, and I hope you will one day see your potential too. 

We are each like glass, beautiful in our own way, with the ability to be heated up by the fuel of our efforts and remade into shapes that are more beautiful, more functional, more of everything. 

There will be many things that I will ask for, in these times of uncertainty and tenuousness.

I ask for mutual trust, and respect, because those are foundations to any relationship, no matter how big or small. I ask for honesty, always, no matter how hurtful those words may be. I ask for patience and understanding throughout my idiosyncrasies and quirks. I ask for tolerance and support in those times where I am less than what I am. I ask for strength, in remaking the differences of opinions and in the improvement of ourselves. 

I ask a lot, because the rewards are worth it. 

I ask a lot, because I'm worth it.
