A lot of us go around trying to find that perfect somebody.
Yet the person who completes you very likely isn’t nearly as perfect as you might hope.
Use your pessimism toset realistic expectationsabout the people you date or pursue a relationship with.
Compatibility is an achievement of love.
It can’t be its precondition.
To be able to love properly, we have to attend a funeral first.
Tempering your expectations just a little bit doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll settle for a loveless relationship.
Stop looking around for one and you just might find love.
