EXPECTATIONS AND ACCEPTANCE

You have to learn to understand that not everyone can go the extra mile for you. People's definition of it varies. In fact, most people cannot. And sometimes, you won't blame them or their circumstances because that's the most they can travel; that's as far as they can go. To them, it's a privilege that they've offered that. Whether it's companionship, coexistence, friendships, support, or love. There's an utmost limit to what most people can bear or put out on the table. Maybe that's just the distance they can traverse, which might often times appear shallow or not enough for you. Might not even resemble the depths you've always thought you needed, which is really okay. So capitalise on peace, and learn to accept it as what it is. As the best that people can transcend and invest, at least for you. That's their extra mile for you and not necessarily for someone else. People's nature varies in several ways, with numerous people. But amidst all these, never forget to ask yourself if you are equally that willing to journey that extra mile for them. If you can wholesomely meet them as far as you desire being met and embraced.
