When I was younger I made a list of what my ideal guy would be. I figured if anyone could match it then we would be the perfect couple. ( I ignored the fact that I might not be his match but that’s not the point.)

I made sure the list was simple. I didn’t want to ask for much, after all I’m not super amazing, but it still had to have some substance so the relationship could last. I also didn’t want to settle, I still have a lot to offer. Anyways, I made sure the list wasn’t superficial like 6-pack, genius, rich, powerful. 

A few years later I found a match. Or realized someone grew to become a match. Unfortunately I wasn’t his, and even though he was a match I eventually realized there’s something missing. I couldn’t put my finger on it. In any case I moved on, or made an attempt to.

I found that missing thing in someone else. He isn’t as close a match but man did it work out better than I ever thought. My list has remained the same, and I intend to follow it.

I just feel it’s necessary to take a chance once in a while, you might not find something that lasts forever, but there’s a possibility that you may find something beautiful.
