(an obvious) thought

one of these days you'll find someone who seems perfect. if you haven't already, i mean.

the first few weeks of your acquaintance will be almost ideal; long conversations, fun moments, lots of laughter.

i call this the "honeymoon phase".

but as time passes, you'll start to float back down from that ephemeral heaven. flaws and qualities about them that you realize you really don't like will start showing.

of course, there really is no ideal person.

but what makes or breaks your relationship is whether you decide to accept him/her exactly as he/she is.

and whether that person makes the same decision.

that's how friendships grow. that's how love blooms.

its a decision that you make everyday.
