A Partner

There are two types of people you will meet in your life. One will run a finger down the index of who you are and jump straight to the parts of you that peak their interest. The other will take his or her time reading through every one of your chapters and maybe unfold corners of you that inspired them most. You will meet these two people; it is a given. It is the third that you’ll never see coming. That one person who not only finishes your sentences, but keeps the book.

I used to think it was important to have common interests with the person that you are in a relationship with but now I think it is more important to be similar in other aspects. Like how kind you are. How you treat the people you care about, how you treat strangers. How you deal with anger. How you deal with pain. and not necessarily dealing with all these things the same way but being perceptive enough to understand what action each situation calls for. it’s important for both people to be on the same page about what that action should be. It’s important to me to have that kind of synchrony.
