Perfect Person For Me…

Is there such a thing?

I think the song “Ordinary People” by John Legend says it all. We’re just ordinary people, we don’t know which way to go. Cause we’re ordinary people, maybe we should take it slow. Let’s face it, the fairy-tale love story that most people spend their whole lives searching for doesn’t exist. The most perfect person you can possibly imagine in your head does not exist. Why – because the story of love is written between two people. No one steps into the role that you have written for them. This ain’t a movie no, no fairy-tale conclusion y’all. It gets more confusing everyday!

So how do some people find their perfect person? The first thing you have to remember in any relationship is that your significant other is a person, an individual with feelings, thoughts, dreams, goals, emotions, fears and a personality of their own. It’s not just the things in common, but also the differences that makes a person attractive and special. When you learn to appreciate the differences in a person and attain a high level of respect for individuality – only then can you truly start to write YOUR fairy-tale love story with the person you never knew would be perfect for you.

Is there such thing as the perfect person for you? I say yes, definitely yes. But you have to dismiss all the superficial things you’ve read in magazines, seen in movies, and conjured up in your mind. Your love life is not determined by the lines recited in Romeo & Juliet, nor is it played out in the scenes of Sleepless in Seattle. We’re all ordinary people. That’s not to say that you will never be swept off your feet, but rather that true love is realistic, it’s work, it’s compromise and it’s pain. And most of all, it’s what you (two) make it to be.
