Advice of the day

Weylie mentioned this in her vlog once and I thought this was really good advice regarding relationships and thought i'd share it! Not sure if it's quoted word by word or what since I saved it in my iphone's notes long ago."You think you know what's best for them you forget to be their best friend, the best friend that's always there to support them. Doesn't mean you want something means your partner needs to want that something too."
The link for the video is right here.
I think it's really true because, once you're really close to a person, you seem to have that mindset that you think that you know what is best for them and that you know what they really want, such that you forget to listen and to bother understanding what they actually really want. So yeah, to put it shortly, you forget to be the best friend.
Also, i think that this particular advice doesn't just go for bgr, but ALL sorts of relationships, including bestfriends. It sounds weird like huh? "We are already bestfriends what do you mean we forget to be their best friend?!" But yeah, you may be best friends with someone but you might not really be acting like one. So... take the time to listen!
