Whether we realize it or not, in the midst of our search of "the one" we subtly find ourselves developing our list of criteria of what we want in the other - tall, short, dark, pale, thin, toned, ambitious, religious, not religious, etc. and the list really never ends.
That person must have to be the complete package - your checklist complete.
I beg to differ. The greatest thing about relationships is that no one is ever going to be that "perfect" person because you have the rest of your lives trying to build each other up, trying to be the best person you can be with your S.O. Your "perfections" and imperfections should complement each other well enough to attain a realization that this person is the best counterpart for you.
The search may take a bit longer than usual but for starters, how about throwing away that perfect list you have in your back pocket?
You're not perfect, sport, and let me save you the suspense: this girl you've met, she's not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other.

I love this entry :)
ReplyDeleteReminds me of this quote...
"You aren't going to be his first and you aren't going to be his last or his only, he has loved before and he may love another again. But if he says he loves you now, what else matters? He isn't perfect and you aren't either. But if he can make you laugh, he can hold you and make your worries go away, and he is not afraid to show his love, hold on to him and give him the best you can. He's not going to quote poetry, he's not going to think about you every moment but he will trust you, love you and give you apart of him, dont try to change him and expect more than he can give. Don't analyze a smile when he makes you happy, let him know when he makes you mad and miss him when he's not there. Hold on to him; appreciate him just like he should to you, because before you know it, he might only be memory. "
Btw loving the picture on the side too ;)
