Find The Perfect Balance

They say opposites attract, but they also say if you're not from similar backgrounds chances of a long, healthy relationship certainly dwindle. They say you need someone who is more like you, but if they're too much like you, you guys will most likely hate each other. I'd say you have to find that perfect balance, you want someone who is like you, but also different. You want someone who compliments you, someone who possesses positive qualities that  you don't possess. And like I said before, in order to find this person, you may have to think outside the box. Don't keep your checklist for a mate glued to your hand, know what qualities are important and which ones aren't. Don't be so quick to judge a book by it's cover. I said all this to say, love comes in all shapes and sizes, you never know what type of package your love will be wrapped in. You just have to be open to taking a look inside any box you feel could quite possibly be filled with something special. You don't need someone too different from you nor do you need someone who is too similar to you. You need that perfect balance of both someone similar yet different. Find that balance and you'll find just what you need.
