Acceptance.

There's this questionnaire meme thing that's been going around for a while now. It's about what kind of guy/girl you're into. A lot of gedik answers have given by some people who have answered, but one person caught my attention when she answered one of the questions very rationally.

The question?

[Do you want him/her to] accept you the way you are?

Her answer?

[...]I think he should at least have the decency to tell me what I could do to become a better person. I doubt that I'd find a guy I would completely be OK with at our first meeting, and I'd definitely tell him to his face (nicely) if he's not right at the second or third, so I'd expect the same from him. Nobody's perfect, and I don't think anyone on earth is named Nobody.

Nani, that's why I like you.

I agree wholeheartedly with what she said. Most other people just answer, 'yes, he must accept me for who I am!', even when they're the most awful, horrible, unpleasant person in the world.

Accepting someone for who they are means knowing they are flawed, loving those special flaws that make them unique, but also helping to change the flaws that are negative and harmful, in order for both of them to be better people.

Nani's right. Nobody's perfect, but we should all strive to be the best we can be. :)



And here's something I stole from a friend, (who I'm pretty sure stole it from Desperate Housewives! :P) who posted this in his facebook status. I think it's very relevant to what I've been discussing with a certain someone recently.

Happiness- it's something everyone searches for. Some are sure they'll find it once they've moved back home. Some think they'll find it by making a new friend. Some hope to find it once they've defeated the competition.

Then there are those who stop searching for happiness, because they look up one day to discover it was right there in front of them all of the time.

Lots of love,

from Me.
