elizabeth bennet said "i can't fix him nor would I for a million dollars" and fitzwilliam darcy said "wait she thinks I need to be fixed? .... she's right, I've gotta work on myself and learn how to be more understanding and generous" and then he did. and elizabeth was like "shit.... he's so understanding and generous now.... makes me realize that my stubbornness and pride in my discernment are obstacles in the lives of myself and others" and then they got married and that's why pride and prejudice has been a bestseller for two hundred years

No because pride and prejudice isn't "I changed myself for you so you would love me back." It's "your blatant rejection and disdain for me made me realize things about myself no one had ever been bold enough to tell me so I sat down and evaluated all my behavior patterns and why they came about and came to the realization myself that I had to work on myself. Also I don't expect you to love me now that I'm a work in progress, so I'm just going to do nice things for you because I don't like seeing you hurt." No wonder P&P fans refuse to settle.

— Letters to Véra, Vladimir Nabokov

[text ID: You came into my life—not as one comes to visit (you know, “not taking one’s hat off”) but as one comes to a kingdom where all the rivers have been waiting for your reflection, all the roads, for your steps.]

maybe it's better to learn a language slowly. maybe we're too obsessed with things happening as quickly as possible. maybe it's more beautiful to dedicate years of your life to a language and have it grow with you as you journey through life rather than "become fluent in one week!". idk just a thought.

I'm definitely a " think you're lying to me but okay" type of person.
