Leo Buscaglia once said, ~Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a love will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar, and the fortitude of the certain.~ Let me ask you this question, do you actually believe perfect love exists? Though considered a myth, it truly is out there in the form of a guy or girl who, in a sense, has all the ingredients to be the perfect match for you. Unfortunately, that so-called perfect match can sometimes leave a bad taste in your mouth, so to speak, to where you have to go back to the beginning and start from scratch all over again.
Without a doubt, when it comes to making that rare form of perfect love with that special someone, it takes a seemingly well balanced mixture of ingredients that hopefully won't turn into a recipe for disaster, in a manner of speaking. In some aspect, you want someone that can add mature wisdom into your life and yet sprinkle in a bit of immaturity because you not only want to have some zing, but also some spice as well. In other words, you want someone who can keep you grounded but at the same time can bring out the kid inside you. It's in those two ingredients that can keep you mentally hungry to where you're always coming back asking for more like a hyperactive child.
Oftentimes, without even knowing it, two special ingredients can be added into the mix that in all intents and purposes makes that guy or girl smell even sweeter. For its a couple of ounces of sweet sensitivity that just touches the heart to the point it paints a bright and colorful picture within the canvas of your heart. In addition to that you want several cups of warm understanding because quite frankly you want someone who will be able to understand who you are and what you are going through as an individual, which is truly lacking in relationships today. Essentially, when you combine these two ingredients together you inevitably have something that is not only cholesterol free but also keeps you filled in mind, body, and soul.
If you think about it, there comes a point where you feel that something is missing that needs to be added to the recipe. Two of those missing ingredients are a teaspoon of acceptance and tablespoons of tolerance, which are both sorely needed if you want everything to come together in a potential and/or significant relationship. It's when you have a person who will not only accept you for who you are as a Christian should, he or she will also love you for just being yourself. Yet, it takes tons and tons of patience to tolerate someone who can make you so frustrated for saying, as well as, doing stupid things that you want to slap him or her upside the head, which makes love not only interesting but challenging as well.
In retrospect, there is a saying that goes: you have to break a few eggs in order to have the perfect omelet. What it boils down to is that you have to suffer through getting your heart broken several times in order to meet/find someone whose love is perfect, but the sad thing is its not always going to be perfect. For the most part, you just have to keep slaving, stirring the pot, adding/taking away ingredients, getting your hands dirty as you pour your blood, sweat, and tears into something you would gladly share with that special someone. In the end, when you stand back, as well as, look at what you and hopefully that person worked hard on together then...BAM....you've got something that's simply irresistible.
