Stop Looking For The Perfect Guy And Start Searching For The Perfect Love

Why we need to stop fantasizing over the perfect guy, and start looking for the perfect love.

Stop Looking For The Perfect Guy And Start Searching For The Perfect Love
Huffington Post

We have all been told this our entire lives, nobody is perfect. We are all flawed, and our flaws help form us into who we are as human beings. Even though we are not perfect, I believe that there is a form of perfection out there, that can be attained. I believe in the idea that love can be perfect.

My idea of love may be different than your idea of love, and your best friends idea of love. Love comes in all shapes, forms, and ideas. What is crazy about love, is that it is formed by two people, who are flawed, and imperfect, but the feelings that are felt and created can never be altered. A perfect love to me, is when two people are able to look past their differences, love each other's flaws, and create a bond that cannot be felt by any other person.


If you are searching for the perfect guy, or girl, you are more than likely not going to find them, or if you believe you do find them, you will quickly discover some flaws about that person. Creating this perception of a perfect person in your head, will only set you up for disappointment. Yes, we would all love to have Prince Charming ride up in his carriage, and sweep us off our feet and take us to his castle, but even Prince Charming will have his flaws.

Do not deny a person based on what car they drive, or what type of clothing they wear. The love of your life might show up one day in a 1989 Ford truck, but you might not give him the time of day because he is not in a 2017 BMW. I am not saying that you should not set standards, I am just saying do not judge or turn down a person, based off of how they first may appear. He may not be the ideal guy your parents imagined for you, but if he is able to create that "perfect love" feeling for you, why would you let anyone else determine your happiness?


All relationships have their ups and downs. There are disagreements and obstacles, but being able to overcome a roadblock in a relationship, just goes to show how strong a couple is. A strong couple is able to hold on, and build onto their perfect love even more. Every couple's perfect love is different.

A couple may find happiness in hiking, and exploring, while another couple might find their happiness through binge watching Netflix series together. The memories, laughter, and good times that a couple shares are a part of their perfect love. The perfect person does not exist, but by combining two people together, who love and care for one another, they are creating their perfect serendipity.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
