Dissapointment

"I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men.

I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. 

I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. 

I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, 

and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. 

Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."
— Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)
