True Love – Undefined
True love is an idea. A dynamic idea that changes over time and as one’s perception is influenced by those one encounters.
And I think that once one’s accepted this, falling in love or meeting someone doesn’t seem as impossible or as distant. I meet a person. I don’t seek perfection. It’s more of finding someone I can trust, want to trust, and want to be trusted by. It’s someone I want loyal to me and I want to be loyal to. It’s a mutual understanding that hey, we’re not perfect, but we get along, and we want to live and grow old together. Mutual tolerance of flaws and differences, while at the same time, learning and growing together, one not allowing the other to remain stagnant.
I want to believe that I will find “true love.” In the meantime, I’ll keep trying to figure it out.

You summed it up perfectly. The “perfect” person is someone you’re able to stand the company of for more than 10 minutes at a time. I wish some other people would realize this, but they’re always looking for someone that is the perfect in general for everyone. Someone who would probably not reciprocate the same feelings for too long after getting together. No one has to approve of this person as long as you enjoy the company of the person and love them. I’ve had two people I’ve thought was the one for me, but each time they couldn’t see what they potentially had in front of them and kept reaching for something less achievable. I hope they’ll wise up quickly and become happy in the near future but I can’t do much other than pity them right now because of their mindset.
