“Shouldn’t we hold out for the person who doesn’t just tolerate our little quirks, but actually kinda likes them?” — Ted Mosby, How I Met Your Mother Anyone can chase you. Anyone can act agreeable. Anyone can adopt an attractive demeanor. Anyone can put their best foot forward. Anyone can make you their flavor of the week. Anyone can put in a little effort from time to time. Wait for the person who accepts you for you are without seeking to change you into someone they want you to be. Wait for the person who can appreciate your quirks without simply seeing them as something they have to tolerate. Wait for the person who sees in you the potential for true friendship and not just a warm body or a matter of convenience. Wait for the person who values you and your relationship enough to actually communicate their feelings. Wait for the person who will let you grow as an individual without insisting that you never change. Wait for the person who trusts you enough to not try to control or manipulate you. Wait for the person who doesn’t simply see you as an option, but as a priority in their life. Wait for the person who isn’t just nice when they want something — or on holidays. Wait for someone with integrity, whose words are reinforced by their actions. Wait for the person who wants to be the best person they can be for themselves, for others, and for you. Not just for a night, a day, a week, or a year, but indefinitely. Don’t settle.
