Tell me honestly, do you want the kind of partner that we see in movies or read about in books?

The kind of person who looks good and has a beautiful heart that calls your name with every beat? The kind of partner who takes care of you like you are the most precious thing he/she ever had? The kind of partner who always considers your feelings and never let you go through anything alone?

Well, if you said YES. And kept nodding along then I would say, ‘You are such a stupid person.’

Okay, no need to get angry. I am sorry but isn’t that the truth, honey?

You are looking for a king/queen while if you look at yourself, well, you are just a normal person. Isn’t that unfair?

I don’t know what you see in movies and books but in real life, people choose those who match their standards. And when I say standards, I don’t mean money or beauty. I mean principles, values, general day-to-day lifestyle, level of thinking, beliefs, and things like that.

The thing is we, youth, are manipulated into believing that one day a prince or a cute goddess will come to save and heal us. The person who will make everything better. The person who will make you feel loved and cared for. And most people spent their lives…
