Quotes to ponder:
“Being easy doesn’t require anything more than the desire to spend time, have fun, and eliminate any unnecessary friction in your relationship.”
“When you’re easygoing, you have a lot less conflict in your life. Things that bother other people don’t bother you as much. And when something is really important to you, you’re almost always going to get your way.”
“He wants to be with you, but he also wants to be himself. His whole world can’t revolve around conforming to your rules.”
