Like Apples on a Tree

Why is it when it comes to relationships with people we tend to try to make it work with the ones who treat us wrong and give up so easily on the ones who treat us right? It makes absolutely no sense. I guess sometimes we want a relationship with someone simply just to be in a relationship. We depend on someone else for our happiness, and that's not the way it should be. I'm not talking about myself, just some people I know and things I observe. If I'm gonna be in a relationship, it's going to be because I truly care about that person and could see myself possibly marrying them one day. I have some pretty high standards, too. I think people tend to try to make it work with the wrong person because they are the easiest person to get close to. When in reality, it's just a disaster waiting to happen. Sure it can be hard to find the right person, but once you do, you should never let them go. It reminds me of a quote I saw a long time ago and fell in love with. This is it: "Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree." So any girls (or guys) out there reading this, don't give up hope. There is not one thing wrong with you. You are perfect. God has a plan for you and before you know it the right person will come along. Don't waste your time on someone rotten, because then how will you find someone good? Just keep your head up and know that at the right time, the right person will walk into your life and never want to leave it.
