gratitude

A girl once asked her boyfriend, "what do you expect from me, from our relationship?"

Waiting for response from the boyfriend, she secretly thought--with worry--if he would ask her to change her behavior, her way of thinking, her style, and something alike.
Nevertheless, the boyfriend, who seemed to read the girl's thought, then replied.
"I don't have much expectations", said the boyfriend.
The girl was still thinking of what the rest of the answer would be.

"I just want you to be true to yourself, and to me, so I can understand you well, so I can accept you and love you for who you are rather than who you want yourself to be".
