The
person who is best suited to us is not the person who shares our every taste
(he or she doesn’t exist), but the person who can negotiate differences in
taste intelligently — the person who is good at disagreement. Rather than some
notional idea of perfect complementarity, it is the capacity to tolerate
differences with generosity that is the true marker of the “not overly wrong”
person. Compatibility is an achievement of love; it must not be its
precondition.
-- Alain de
Botton on his essay about why we will marry the wrong person.
I believe
that it is the best way to close my peak season. To end a series of activities
I managed to do to keep myself stay sane that I’ve been going on (and writing on). On top of
that, it also a pleasant way for me to stop running and looking for
a soul. Cause I’ve got one. The best that I could ask for.
He’s the
reasons of how I could agree upon this. Through our conversation,
disagreement, and complementary to each other, he changed the way I look about
feeling. It is more than that. And I’ve been blessed to know that he is already sitting in the right spot from the very
beginning.
Today, I
believe I’ve been blessed and grateful, by taking a closer step to a real
battle of life, with him. And I would say thank you to him for coming to my house, for
talking to my family, and for asking me today. And thank you too, for finding me
between other million souls in the universe since three years ago. I know we're gonna make it through. Thank you.
Thank you,
D.
