What I believe to be true about love and finding your partner, is that there’s one perfect match for each of us, and maybe a few other good partial match mates, and we each know in our hearts if they’re near, and ready for us. Settling because of external noise, or people telling you not to be with your true person (because they seem too old, for instance), is caving to pressure and probably settling for someone who is not your one true love, and it won’t last. Aim for the one true soul mate match, even if it’s slightly unconventional. None of that matters though. Don’t give up on true love. It is truly magical and will transcend any imagined issue that other people foist on you. What you know to be true, is true for you. You know who they are. Call them to you.
