love the ninty percent ♥ ♥ ♥

it's been said that one of the reasons people cheat is because they continue to search for the 10% that they can't find with their partners. for a girl, her boyfriend may be the patient and understanding guy that she was looking for but he may be more unromantic than a rock and she continues to long to be swept from her feet. for a guy, his girlfriend may be the pretty and smart girl he's always wanted but continues to wish she can cook like his mom. i have to admit, Harry is the understanding, patient, musically-inclined, food enthusiast, sarcastic, humorous, smart and caring guy that i have hoped for but he's not athletic -- never plays a sport to save his life, not as adventurous as i hoped he'd be and he doesn't have those six-pack abs that every girl longs for. Harry only retains information that he likes to retain so he may not always remember what kind of perfume i wear or that i've kept anti-bacterial soap by my sink for years now (yes, he asked my this morning why i don't keep one, even when i've only used this natural floral soap my friend gave me for only a month) or that he doesn't remember to shift to 1st gear first before releasing the hand brake. 

despite the 10% that Harry doesn't possess from my list, he completes me in inexplicable ways. they say God doesn't really give us the perfect guy from our list but the guy who complements us, keeps us grounded when our arrogance or confidence has us off the earth, loves us despite the bitchy days pre-menstruation, puts up with our nagging and just keeps us safe in any way possible. it's not only fate that keeps a relationship working, hard work needs to be put into it too. so for those ladies who are in a relationship like me, don't allow the scale to tip over to the mere 10% that our guys lack. love the 90%..and love it with all your heart. for those single ladies, be patient. yes, there's no stopping you from making that list of the perfect guy for you but be smart enough to determine the traits that matter. love yourself first and allow yourself to grow. pretty soon, that guy who is not just anyone perfect but the one perfect for you will come along. trust me, i was single for 5 years before i met harry. i allowed myself to grow up and learned to love myself before i could love someone else. ♥

happy heart's day everyone! ♥
