"people make the mistake of letting beauty guide attraction" said a character from a mediocre movie It paved the way for a period of self reflection Remember that boy or girl might be beautiful, but no facade is a stable foundation for a serious healthy relationship Don't force yourself to settle for anything, not even people You don't look now fall in love later Be with them because of what you see in them not what you see looking at them Your perception of them when you are at a low point is what matters You kiss with your eyes closed, and that is as much as you'll ever really see when you are arguing with them You will pick the things they do, say, or believe when you're having an honest real argument, it won't be how they do their hair their clothes or what they look like in makeup it will be the bills you can't pay because they thought education was less important than their name brand shoes You will remember the lack of help they offered more concerned for themselves You will become revolted when you take note of their homophobia you didn't notice when you were too caught in what they looked like to see what matters You are a wonderful person who works hard, you have aspirations, and are realistic in your expectations & someone will find that endearing, you will never lose the ability to see the light in their eyes when being in their arms feels like home and you work together to succeed and commit to each other and your own needs in coexistence cohabitation isn't just organizing two peoples worth of stuff it is the feelings and emotions together too
