Big things Quote by Anonymous
“So, u think everything is fine. Suddenly, things start to change. U notice little things at first. Little things turn into big things. U dont spend quality time anymore. The romance is gone. U start to think that something is wrong with u. U ask if everything is ok. U r told it is. U ask if the love is still there. U r told, Of course, it is. But, things r not the same. Quality time is now spent watching the news. U r afraid of voicing ur opinion for fear of getting that someone upset. U can no longer have ur say. U continue to ask if u r still loved. The response is always, yes. U know something is still wrong. Finally, the truth is revealed. That someone has grown tired of u.”
