What do I look for in somebody? Everyone always seemed to have this list of what they want in a significant other and it always seemed so superficial and shallow to me. Why would I want to sit there and have a checklist in my head every time I met someone seeing if they met those standards? The thought of that always seemed absolutely absurd to me. So I went on with my life with not really having an idea of what I looked for in someone else until I realized that I was not happy with the people I was letting into my life. I would always just settle for the person that said the right things, and if there were qualities I would not like about them, I would just overlook them because I didn't want to be too "picky". But guess what? I deserve better than that and so do you.
Once I spent awhile being single and learning to love myself and appreciate who I am, I decided that if I am going to let anybody in, they have to love me for who I am, and never expect me to change. Making myself a priority was the best thing that I could have done, because now I know that I deserve better.
