"the one"

people of our generation are becoming less & less infatuated with finding "the one." they're calling us the "hook up generation," which, coming from a college student, is extremely fair. i've seen myself that people crave the affection without the commitment, and then confuse themselves when they actually try to find a genuine relationship. i've watched people i know get married to the wrong person because they don't want to put in the work by finding someone who meets their standards.

I believe finding "the one" has very little to do with myself. Sure I have a mental checklist of the things i like & dislike in people, but at the end of the day, God created a man a long time ago for me that fills my every shortcoming. I may not even recognize how perfect he is for me for long time after i meet him.

i believe there is a person you're meant to be with, but they're someone you're going to have to fight for. i believe this person is someone who will be completely honest with you, and someone who will listen when you're completely honest with them. there will be no obsession in the relationship. there will be no walls. you will be one team, not with the world, not against the world, but for it.
