I always hear all these crazy stories of how people meet through “fate” and fall in love. People who live across the country from each other who somehow find each other online and realize that they’re the perfect ones for each other. People who meet one time and can’t stop thinking about that person and somehow by fate, are brought back together again. I hear about people who are forbidden to be together, but are so much in love they’ll do anything and everything to be with that person, even if it’s secretly. It seems like eveybody wants some kind of storybook fairytale kind of story for their life, especially when it comes to love.. It drives me crazy how blinded people are when they’re in love. They can’t see the other person’s flaws, they lose track of who they are, and they start compromising their own self to make the person they love happy. Although it makes them happy to be in love, they don’t realize that they’ve lost who they are through the whole process.. Now why would you want that for yourself?
For me, when it comes to love, I want somebody who is my best friend. I want somebody who trusts me and I can trust them. I want someone who loves me for exactly who I am, nothing more, nothing less. I want somebody that is secure, somebody that knows that I love them and they never have to doubt it. I want somebody to chill with, hang out with, have a good time no matter what we’re doing. I want somebody I can bring home to my family. I want somebody I can love, not in the storybook sense, but someone I can love in a real way, a way that makes me smile, a way that I never have to doubt that I’m in the right place. I want someone that will make me laugh, I want someone weird, I want someone confident, someone to explore the world with. Most of all, I just want someone that’s real. Someone who is content with who they are. Now anybody down for a real relationship? I’ll show you how it’s done.
