"But I think it’s intoxicating when somebody is so unapologetically who they are."
Don Cheadle (via existentrillest)
I’ve truly learned to appreciate this over the years. I remember being in my first serious relationship (over 3 1/2 years) and just *wishing* I could change certain things about him. I was happy (well, before I wasn’t) with many things, but there were some aspects that bothered me, and would always bother me. In fact, this man still seems to think we’d be “perfect” together, but I know much better.
It’s invigorating to truly know yourself and know what you want from a significant other. It’s also an amazing feeling to see those things in someone and know that that’s the kind of person you want to be with, rather than nitpicking the things you don’t like and wishing things could be different.
Know what you want, and GO AFTER IT. There is no reason to settle. Accept people for who they are. Accentuate your strengths, and be open, honest, and forthcoming about your weaknesses. This is my philosophy.
(says the single law student.)
