“Some people love to live life in the fast lane; some like to take things slower. Some are extremely competitive and eager to grab life by the balls, while others just want to take in the quiet beauty that moves along, whether or not we will it to. There is no single standard for right and wrong. The right person for you is the person that sees the world almost the same way that you do… almost.
Complete opposites may attract, but they don’t last. If you and your partner don’t share very similar beliefs on the most basic of levels, then your relationship will be filled with nothing but arguments and stress. In order to share your life, you have to share your world — the world that exists only in your mind and hopefully in your lover’s.
However, if you and your partner are too similar, it’s no good, either; boredom is a reality. It is possible to find someone who lives in your reality, but perceives certain things a bit differently, enough to broaden your horizons and to expose you to other parts of a reality that you can adapt as your own. Finding a person to love, in summation, relies on understanding yourself well enough to know what to look for in another. If you don’t know yourself, then you won’t know love when it comes your way. That’s something worth being afraid of.”
