"What most of us are waiting for is someone else to really think you’re okay with all your warts, just the way you are." - Charlotte Joko Beck

“Do not be absent for too long, then come and ask about how I am, details die with time and stories change.”

―

Mahmoud Darwish

Wanting to be enough for someone else is self-abandonment.

Instead of asking "Are you the one," ask two questions of each of you. Do I accept my partner despite their shortcomings? Do I commit to nurture them to achieve what is important to them? And likewise, do they accept me and do they commit to me? All you need is four yeses.
