A few words on romantic LOVE...

Look for the Right Wrong.

“We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. 

But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are — that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person — someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.”

Admittedly, I may be the worst person to ever be in a relationship with, EVER.  So I find thoughts like this comforting because they make me feel that even ME, in all my spazzy splendor, may have a chance at keeping a relationship together someday.  I know I have a lot of work to do first but I like knowing it could still happen.
