The One!

I have found that unlike what most people say, your soul mate is not the one who is your perfect fit on most levels (because that is practically impossible to think the same way as someone else on just about everything), it is the one who sees the beauty, appreciates, and encourages your differences; the one who knows all your flaws and loves you like you are perfect; the one who happily brings out the best qualities and talents in you (even if these things aren't attributes and talents that they necessarily like); the one who believes in you when you doubt yourself; the one who sacrifices their time and effort for your smile/laugh/happiness; the one you want to free into the world to experience all that is good, but who you cannot wait to be back by your side; one you love enough to forgive and erase the tally of mistakes that are made (although that one will try to keep from hurting your directly at all costs); the one you cannot stop praying about or thanking God that they are in your life; the one that God gives you every sign that they are meant; the one that shares your pain and joys equally…..I could go on and on!
