It takes effort to make anything work in any relationship whether that be a friendship or an actual love relationship. To reserve a space for someone who doesn’t care is a waste of time and effort. ~ Emily Reedy
Not to spend all your efforts chasing people and focusing on getting them to be there. I have lived by this for a while and it’s true. You can better love some people when you are not so focused on getting them to “see” you. You have to trust God and let go and reserve your best for those God has for you. ~ Jenny Vierstraete
I put so much effort into people some times and get nothing in return. But I also look at better to give then receive. So do you keep trying or find good friends that love you and even through the bad or do you make an effort to show people you care about them. One day they will go, by then it may be too late and I’ll be gone. ~ Donna Rhodda
Get rid of expectations, then maybe you won’t be disappointed. Life gets in the way at times, recognize it and fix it. ~ Mark Johnston
