My Past:
I was born and raised in the middle of a giant corn field in the Midwest in an extremely small town. A very Norman Rockwell-like atmosphere where everyone knew everyone else's name, crime was almost non-existent, and most people stayed married for life. I swear, I'm not making this up! Although stuck in time, towns like that still DO exist! They're just extremely, extremely rare. As for my family, I come from a good, strong, unselfish, close-knit, openly communicative family who looks after one another, doesn't make decisions unless we think about others that the decisions will affect, and are all about love and going out of our way to show it. Especially because of my grandparents and my mom, I know how a real relationship is supposed to work and what you need to do to protect it and make sure it feels safe and secure for both people involved. I want someone else who has these same kind of roots so that they have a constant conscience as well as role models they can follow before making decisions.
My Future:
I'm at the stage in my life where I really have a solid idea of what I'm looking for and, truth be told, that entails finding someone similar to myself in the following ways. I'm looking for someone who instinctively seems to do the right things in life by thinking of how it would affect both their lives and the lives of others, all based on a personal moral code and a mixture of common sense and logic, and this code does not necessarily have to be based on any kind of religion.
I need someone who has a strong conscience that can easily defeat obstacles (Whether by an internal strength, stubbornness, or feelings of potential guilt--whatever leads you to the right path is FINE by me!), someone who protects their significant other from things and people they know will cause the other person emotional harm, someone who does things that's best for both people in a relationship when they make decisions, and someone who has self-control when they're away from the person they really love.
I need someone who has a great big heart, someone who has tons of passion and hope, someone who values commitment to love even during times when things seem confusing, and someone who wants the dream of happily ever after. Impossible, you say? No, because everything I just listed above is exactly who I am and what I want, and if I exist, a woman like me must exist as well, don't you think? I mean, come on! There's 6 billion people on this planet. Surely I'm not the only one who thinks this way!
Once a relationship becomes serious, I need someone who does the right thing, will always stand beside me, and always love me and only me. I need someone who looks at me and knows I'm the only one they'll ever want or need, the only one they want to confide in, and the only one they want to be their best friend whom they want to share everything with.
