The urge to change someone

If I truly want to do something, then I should just do it.
There’s no need to expect others to change for me.
Trying to change someone only wears me out.
Wishing they were different often turns into resentment.
When I meet people—whether it’s a partner or a friend—
I’ve often hoped that the effort I give would come back to me in the same way.
And when it doesn’t, I sometimes fear the relationship might fall apart.
Maybe all along, I was trying to reshape others to fit what I wanted.
Yet deep down, what I really wished was for them to see me as I am.
