I admit that, as a single woman, I am always keeping my eyes peeled for my Mr. Right. Despite everyone's admonishments that he will come when I stop looking, the fear that I would miss him fuels my search. Furthermore, as a strong, independent woman, one should ideally not need another person to feel like they have a whole life. Yet, deep down inside of all of us is just a scared child, wanting to be rescued and live happily ever after.
However, this plan is fraught with problems. First, there is no Mr. or Miss Perfect in existence, so forget discovering that unicorn. Then there is the danger of becoming so entrenched in finding someone else, that we forget to focus on our own lives ( of which is the o my thing we have control over anyway...) finally, did you ever stop to wonder what you bring to the relationship? Just like you, that other person is seeking someone of quality and character- how impressive is your own resume?
I am not advising that we all just remain self- absorbed, trusting that we'll bump into that special someone while out on our own missions of self improvement. What I am saying is that a relationship is made of two whole people working together, symbiotically sharing and learning, supporting and challenging one another. Right now, you can focus on becoming the best version of yourself possible, so that you can proudly give your all to someone else. This way, you can be confident that when you do meet that right person, you will be ready to be their right person as well.
