Finding people who you instantly 'click' with, especially with the opposite sex, is never easy. We all have this idea which contains a list of qualities our dream companion should possess and are let down when they don't meet our standards, our list. I never once thought I would be the one to say this, but when I stopped looking for a person who possessed every quality thought I liked, I found my happiness.
When I look back on why things ultimately never worked out, the biggest issue was I couldn't find someone who understood what I was going through, I was being shallow. I liked the things I liked, but I wasn't happy. It wasn't until recently I understood why.
The things I thought I wanted in a companion turned out not to be the important part, the most important part is the ability to understand and relate to one another. For most of my college career, I struggled with depression and lost sight of what being happy actually felt like. That all changed when I met you.
When I met you, I knew instantly I could talk to you about my struggles because you had also been down a similar path. You understood what depression felt like, you'd been through it. You accepted my flaws and insecurities, but you didn't let them define what you thought of me.
You've made me feel beautiful again, on the inside and outside. You reminded me what it was like to be truly happy, something I had lost when I became damaged. You reminded me everyone has their struggles, some bigger than others and that I'm not alone.
I'm glad I met you when I did, although I wish it would have been sooner, because I wasn't damaged anymore. You make it easy for me to talk to you, and you never fail to put a smile on my face. You're caring, compassionate, and understanding - you're better than any list I could come up with
Most of all, I'm glad I met you when I did because you reminded me what it was like to look at someone and know they felt the same exact way.
