Attached Quote by Ritu Ghatourey
“You know what your problem is? You get attached, fast. And once you are attached to someone, you do everything you can to please them and make them happy. Its never been about what you want, its always everyones needs before your own. You give out too many chances to people, who quite frankly, do not deserve them. They take advantage of you, and you become a pushover. But youre okay with that, because theyre in your life and thats all you ever wanted. And even if they screw you over, youll still be there for them. Because thats you, thats who you are. Once you get attached to someone, they capture your heart and they always have a place there. And thats why its so hard for you to let them go.”
