And just because you see their potential does not mean that they are going to fulfill it anytime soon.
do not date for potential yeah you might be like oh my gosh he is so lazy he's such a bum but i could really see him being super successful and such a good father one day like wait for that then if you really think they have high potential but they are holding you back right now wait for them to reach that potential and then you guys can be together if it's in the plan okay but
No.
I have been the I can fix him girl and you never end up fixing them, but you do end up damaging yourself.

No.
No.
No one, no one's responsibility to fix someone or to heal someone else.
No, everyone is responsible for their own actions, their own accountability.
