what I was looking for, and what I found, for the most part |
I am the the type of person who aims toward perfection, but rarely achieves it. The same is true with the love of my life.
I planned for someone that I thought would be my person. I even kept a running list while I was looking for the right one. The list was modified and grew over the years.
People would tell me that I was being too picky and that I should modify my expectations or I'd never get married. They were partially right. The reality is N is everything I was looking for. He's just not at 100% with every item on the list - then again, neither am I.
That's the thing. When I first met him, all I could think about was how it would never work out between us because of these very specific flaws. Even though on paper, for the most part, he seemed perfect. Overtime, I came to a place where all I could think about was how great he was, "warts and all" (that's a quote from Bridget Jones' Diary that I love). He may not be perfect, but he's certainly perfect for me :) Thank God I was wrong.
