We accept the love we think we deserve. This quote is by Stephen Chbosky. I think this quote means that some people think they are worthless so they settle for abusive love. Others think they are a King or Queen and will settle for no one who isn`t prepared to treat them like one. Basically,if you have a sense of self worth you will attract those that will respect you,and if you don`t you won`t.It means that we are willing to take love from the wrong person simply because we haven't learned how to love ourself first. So we think that we deserve any other love thats not true love. But you have to learn to love yourself before you can love anyone else. Because if you learn to love yourself you won't put yourself in a relationship where that wrong person treats you like your not good enough."We accept the love we think we deserve" The words which should be concerned on are "accept" and "deserve" in some sense they place, despite the the comparable meaning.
ReplyDelete"Accepting" is allowing ourselves to be loved, or rather loving someone. However, deserve is more, the love you've earned and created, you've gradually won the love - sometimes this isn't a good idea, we think we've deserved it, but this could just be leading to our ignorance. This perfectly interlinks with Persons predicament with Other people,they believes they deserved the love with Someone ; however Persons ignorance suggests it's something more, leading into the hurtful truth.Each of us is deserving of an all-encompassing love – one that sometimes seems to stifle us because the emotion is so overwhelming, but we could not possibly live our lives without. It may be your spouse, your children, your friends or your family but regardless of where that feeling comes from, know that you truly deserve to be loved on your terms and not just theirs. Don’t just accept what is offered – if you think you are worthy of more, demand more.Each of us is deserving of an all-surrounding love – one that sometimes seems to suffocate us because the emotion is so overwhelming, but we could not possibly live our lives without. It may be your spouse, your children, your friends or your family but regardless of where that feeling comes from, know that you truly deserve to be loved on your terms and not just theirs. Don’t just accept what is offered – if you think you are worthy of more, demand more.This quote is so easily said and can have so many meanings to it.
Great job on your blog this week! You always do such an amazing job, your blogs are always so inspiring to read no matter what the topic is! You're great at putting details where they need to be put, and it really shows in your writing. Again, great job :)
Delete“We accept the love we think we deserve,” is although insanely popular, but extremely true. I think this quote means we only let in what we think of ourselves, it’s hard to word the way I think of it, but really I feel like it just means it depends on how we see ourselves when it comes to how we let others see us. Like for example, if you’re insecure enough and don’t think you don’t deserve love, you’ll convince yourself anyone who is interested in you must just be desperate for anyone. Personally, I don’t let people love me if I don’t feel I deserve it too. I think I refuse to believe any guy would really have interest in me because I personally wouldn’t have an interest in me. I feel like this quote relates to the book “Dark Places” by Gillian Flynn. The main character Libby thinks extremely low of herself to the point where she can’t even really have friends, she pretty much tells herself no one will like her and she believes it. She pretty much stops herself from being happy because she doesn’t think she deserves it. Throughout the whole book she refuses to let anyone in her life, even if they show a bit of interest or care she pretty much just shuts them out and forgets about them. I also feel like this can be related to perks of being a wallflower (the movie the quote is from) really well. Charlie is really into this girl but she’s kind of caught up with some douchebagy people, and in the end she realizes he’s really been the one she’s in love with, but she felt toward the end he was way too good for her and she thought so lowly of herself that she always wound up with the jerks. I feel like people often just feel lowly of themselves no matter what that pretty much in any situation people get what they thing they deserve and they wind up screwed because they deserved way better. Everyone pretty much feels lowly about themselves no matter what nowadays.
ReplyDeleteYour blog was really good! I like how you related it to the movie it was from and a book. I also like how you elaborated on how it related to those things. I agree with how you said everyone thinks lowly of themselves because I myself do it too. Your a really great writer and I'm going to start reading your blogs more!
DeleteA wise man once said a wise quote the stated “we accept the love we think we deserve.” The wise man was named Stephen Chbosky. This quote could have many possible meanings, depending on the person that you ask. However,to me, this quote means that most people think that they deserve more or less than what they should really truly get. For example, some people think that they are not good enough for nice, trusting, healthy relationship. So, they go for what they think they deserve, and they think that all they can get is an abusive, unhealthy relationship. Then, other people think that they are the best and deserve everything and they try to go for the people that can give them everything and anything that they could ever possibly want. These people look for someone that they are either too good for or not good enough for. Personally, I believe that if you find someone that treat you in good way, than you should feel grateful. There are many people that are in relationships that they do not deserve to be in. For example, people get abused for no real reason at all. If you are in a nice, caring, healthy relationship, and you are happy as you can be, then you should not try shooting for anything more or anything less.
ReplyDeleteI can relate this quote to the movie “Gimme Shelter.” In this inspiring movie, the girl, named Apple, thought that she did not deserve anything good. She stayed in an abusive relationship, and the man wound up getting her pregnant and left her. She was also in an abusive relationship with her mom who alway used drugs. Apple then thought that she could deserved better so she tried to find her dad. When she got to her fathers house he wanted her to go to a clinic and get rid of the baby. She did not want to do that, so she ran away and got into more trouble and then, she became homeless. She then wound up in a type of shelter for troubled, homeless mothers and mothers to be. While she was in the shelter, she learned about self value and how to be responsible. When she had the baby, she became an almost completely different person. She was now responsible, and became a nice, kind young adult. She learned that she deserved better than what she has ever had.
good job this week! you did a good job. I liked the way you related it to gimme shelter, keep up the good work! and I also like your personal opinion on the quote.
Delete‘We accept the love, we think we deserve.” This quote can mean many things, and it all depends on your opinion. In my opinion, people today just put themselves out there. They don’t have any respect for them selves and they think that nothing will happen to them. If you just have self-confidence you will find someone that likes you the way you are. If you don’t respect yourself, you won’t find someone that is respectful. We just think we deserve love, but you shouldn’t deserve it if you aren’t willing to do the right thing. We should all learn to love our selves before we do anything that we will regret. If you learn to do the right thing for your self, you will end up finding some one who cares. Someone that will treat you the way you want to be treated in a relationship. I think the key word in this quote is “think” , we think that we need a relation ship. We think we love some one. We think a lot of things, and sometimes what we think is not good enough. There is no reason to think that you are never going to be in a relationship. What I think we do, is we put our selves down. We make it seem like we don’t respect ourselves, and don’t care what people think. Personally, i think that if you don’t care about what people think about you, you are going to have a hard time growing up. Yeah, they always say, don’t worry about, what other people see you as, but you should. You don’t want everyone to see you as a girl that sells her self out. We should not accept what is offered to you , accept it only If it means a lot. Only if it truly means something. If you accept it just to look cool and impress your friends, your only hurting your self. That person may end up hurting you really bad and you will never be the same again. They could have changed your life and you will never be the same. I can’t find a book or a movie that this quote kind of relates to but, in the movie LOL this girl tried so hard to be with a guy because she wanted to fit in. She was mostly wanting to do this because all of her friends had a boyfriend and in the end he ended up hurting her. She wasn’t the same. Overall, this quote can mean many things.
ReplyDeletegood job lillian this week!! you did great job,and i agree that this quote relates to a movie ans this quote can mean many things.keep it up!!
Delete"We accept the love we think we deserve." In my opinion, this quote is extremely powerful. As people we do only accept the love we think we deserve. Every day people push others away because they think they will betray them. If you don't believe in yourself, you won't let anybody love you; you won't accept the full advantage and reality of love. If we are insecure about ourselves, we will never let anybody else love us. And that is what I believe this quote means. If somebody is going through a rough time and starts to feel as if they can't trust anybody, they will begin to not accept any love at all. People only allow what they see in themselves, into themselves. It is hard to put just what I believe this means into words, extensively. I really believe this relates to many situations in life. If somebody's being bullied they're going to think badly of themselves; and they're going to think everybody else feels the same exact way. When somebody tries to love them, they won't take it seriously. What I'm trying to say is that once you see yourself in one way, it's hard to believe that anybody else sees you in any other. You are what you think of yourself, in my book. This also goes for if somebody has a lot of self confidence, they may get their heart broken more. People who think that everybody loves them may not be very satisfied with the results. They may continuously believe that somebody has a lot of love for them, but those people are really just using them for their joy.
ReplyDeleteThis quote may mean many different things to other people. It can be taken in multiple ways and I believe that they are all true. But I strongly believe that this quote means that what you let in, reflects on how you think of yourself. It may also mean to be yourself and shoot for more, shoot for what you know you deserve and once you get it, you've succeeded. That is also correct in my opinion, accepting the amount of love you believe you deserve is a great thing. Like I said before, though, it may also be a bad thing. Being yourself is a big deal and loving yourself is also a huge deal. The more you know who you are and the more you appreciate it, the more love you will learn to accept and adore. There's nothing better than letting the people who love you into your life, nothing better at all.
To me, this quote means that if we think we deserve something we will keep trying and trying until we get it, if I think I deserve a loaf of bread I will try to get the loaf of bread and no matter what anyone else says, does or thinks, in my head I deserve that piece of bread and I will not stop intill I get it because I know I deserve it. If someone thinks that they are worthless , they will settle for less the what they really deserve. If you think and know your like a king, you are not going to settle for anything less than the best. What you settle for all depends on how much self confindence and self esteem you have. Personally this quote means to me that if you think you are less you are going to get less, if you think you deserve a lot you arenot going to get less and you aren’t going to get less. You will not accept anything but the best. to me this quote relates to me because if I know I deserve something I will work for it and expect nothing less than the best and will only receive or get the best at what im trying to get. I can relate this to a movie called 42. Jackie robinson wanted to be in the pros, not just the negro leagues. He knew that he deserved to be in the pros because he knew he was better then most of the white people that were there. No matter what people said to him, he got what deserved because he knew he deserved it and would not settle for anything less then the best. overall I did not like this quote this week.
ReplyDeleteColin, you did really good this week. I really liked how you related it to a loaf of bread. I also liked how you related it to 42. Last, I liked how you stated your opinion on the quote. Good job this week and keep up the good work!
DeleteThe quote “we accept the love we think we deserve” has a very strong meaning. It means that the way you feel about yourself makes you only pick the way others feel about you affect your self-esteem. Many people that have a rough life might not feel the same as others who have it better. They could feel like they are worthless in ways. Those people won’t accept real love and compassion from another person only the bullying and name calling could be their form of love they think they deserve. As for many others they take any type of love that is given to them because they haven’t gotten any love before in their life. People also pick love in other ways as for choosing who they want to love them. There could be a person who truly loves another person and is being rejected and pushed away because they don’t feel the same. Accepting love should come naturally but we often have to “think” about it. People should already know the type of love they deserve. They deserve respect, kindness, trust and so much more. You shouldn’t beat yourself up over a simple mistake or the way others think of you and only accept hateful and hurtful things. In my opinion Love is so many things put into one word. It has many definitions also but, everyone deserves and should be loved the right way no matter what.
ReplyDeleteA wise man named Stephen Chbosky once said, “We accept the love we think we deserve.” This quote is extremely true and it means many things to me. In my opinion this quote means that some people in this world are in some very bad living conditions and relationships. Someone could be in an abusive relationship where being raped or hit is apart of their daily routine. Some people do it because they get paid to do it. Others do it because they are in a relationship that started out well but took a wrong turn, and now they can’t break up with the person or run away or they could get killed. I also think this quote means that when people are bullied by someone, they start to think that they don’t deserve love and that they would be better off dead. Everyday, millions of kids and teens get pushed, shoved kicked and called awful names like stupid, annoying, worthless, “no one likes you,” and the victim starts to believe it. This can lead to serious issues like mental health problems, self-harm, depression, and in serious cases, suicide. These are real problems that happen in this world every day. It is an awful thing to think happens but it does. We need to stand up against abuse and bullying because these are extremely serious and often fatal issues that happen everyday in this world. I believe that the quote, “We accept the love we think we deserve,” which was said by Stephen Chbosky can relate to many movies and books out there. One movie that it can relate to is the documentary “A Girl Like Her.” The movie is about a 16 year old girl named Jessica who gets relentlessly bullied by this girl named Avery. The movie features documented footage from a hidden camera in Jessica’s necklace that her best friend Brian gave to her. All of the footage shows Avery bullying Jessica both in school and online. Jessica ends up overdosing and committing suicide. The film was directed and written by Amy Weber, she got the inspiration for the plot from the death of Phoebe Prince, an Irish high school student who was bullied after moving to Massachusetts and then took her own life in 2010. I definitely believe that the quote “We accept the love we think we deserve,” is a very true and amazing quote. I hope that people will learn something from this quote and stand up to abuse and bullying because no one in this world deserves anything less than to be loved.
ReplyDelete“We accept the love, We think, We deserve” was once said by the wise man Stephen Chbosky. To me, this quote means that if we think we deserve something we will keep pushing and trying until we get what we deserve. For example, if I want money, I will work for that money. Not everything will be handed down to you. If someone thinks that they are weak, then they wont get what they want because they don’t believe in themselves. If you think and know youre a strong individual, you will see progress in what you get and how much hard work pays off. What you get depends on yourself and your own actions and thoughts. If you think you are less you are going to get less, if you think you deserve more you will get more as long as you work for what you want. You will not take anything but what you truly deserve. To me, this quote relates to me because if I know that I deserve something I will work as hard as I can for it and expect nothing less and nothing more than I deserve. I can relate this to a movie called 8 Mile. Eminem wanted to just grow up and get out of the ghetto. He believed that him and his family deserved much better. Therefor, He went out and rapped his thoughts. He expressed his feelings through music and now he is a millionaire. He has been through a lot but he worked for what he wanted and it all worked out for him. He has many fans who desire the music he writes and expresses because he has true music that comes with a meaning when you hear it.
ReplyDeleteSomeone once said, “We accept the love we think we deserve.” This quote could mean many different things to people. Like that we think we have fallen in love but we actually haven’t. But to mean this quote means that how we view ourselves is what love we should get. For example if a girl is like in love with herself and believes that she is the most important person who ever step foot on this earth, she is going to try and get the hot guy who is just as sallow. But say there is a girl who doesn’t find herself important or worthy of anything, she is going to go for the guy who treats her like that. When someone good actually comes along who is actually in love with this girl and cares about her, she would most likely not even view him as someone she would date. In her mind she would believe that some jerk is the best she can do and accepts that love instead of looking at the nice guy because she doesn’t view herself in a positive way but rather in a more negative way. And I know people do this all the time. I remember a movie I watched called The Perks of Being a Wallflower and there was this boy who saw this girl and madly feel in love with her. The boy never tells her and he just watches after she dates jerk after jerk. The boy is a freshman and the girl is a senior but they are friends. But friends is all she views him as because he is a nice quite boy. And she was a freshman the upper class men would get her drunk and do things to her. After that she never viewed herself as someone who would date someone who actually cared for her. She just dated jerk after jerk. She got cheated on lied to and more but never went for anything more. She accepted that love cause she thought she didn’t deserve anymore. Also her fathers friend raped her when she was a little girl so that also made her view herself less and less. And even though this boy was madly in love with her and would literally go to the ends of the earth to be just in the same room as her, the girl couldn’t see until it was too late.
ReplyDeleteI believe this quote means that many people are treated how they believe what their own self worth really is to them. Like a person who thinks they have no self worth they believe they deserve very little to absolutely no love from anyone or anything. A person who thinks very positively about themselves they will be open to love and give and get love from almost everybody who is around them. personally I believe that this quote expresses a lot about what I think of myself and other people that I know how think positively or negatively about themselves.I can relate this to a friend of mine who thinks themselves no better than dirt who doesn't accept any love or affection from anybody even though this person is a good person they still think they are not deserving of love
