Gratitude Quote by Aline Mattos
““Giver expectations Do you wait for a hug when you give one? Do you wait for a thank you when you do something for someone? Do you get sad if they don't answer your call? You shouldn't, because we shall give without expecting anything back. But what to do with the emptiness that fills your heart? The feeling that insists in waiting for that hug, that thank you or that call? How to reason with your heart when your heart is also in your mind? How to make someone to understand you when you don't know yourself? How to make sense when you cant find any sense at all? How to find balance when you feel like you will fall? Aline Mattos””
