Some thoughts on love: that most difficult realization that someone other than one's self is real.
Let our scars fall in love.

Were all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if youve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect theres 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 isnt until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problemsthe ones that make you truly who you arethat youre ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what youre looking for. Youre looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: its got to be the right wrong personsomeone you lovingly gaze upon and think, This is the problem I want to have.
Tell yourself: I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.
