The “right” person…

At your absolute best, you still won’t be good enough for the wrong person. At your worst, you’ll still be worth it to the right person.

I am certainly an example of someone who tended to choose the “wrong” person in love, and who finally got it right. It took being super, duper honest with myself. What kind of person am I and what sort of behaviour am I able to accept or not accept, how do I want to live my life, and what sort of future do I envision. From there, what sort of person is a match for these values, desires and goals. It worked. My future hubby and I had arrived at the same conclusion and had pretty much identical “lists” for the perfect life partner. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
