The perfect fit

My sister and I watched "I give it a year" recently and it sparked a thought about compatibility. Finding someone who lets you be you, accepts you for who you are and likes you anyway is so, so rare. It is precious and should be treasured. I believe we don't place enough importance on things when they work. If they're broken they are screaming for attention but when they are good they tend to be taken advantage of , disrespected and left to die from complacency.

I think the pain of lost love, especially when it is with someone who fits, is accompanied and deepened by the fear that there will not be another person that will fit. Like your favourite tshirt that eventually dies and gets seconded to the garage for rag duties, it takes long time to find a replacement. Sometimes you never do. Sometimes you don't want to look because you know in your heart of hearts there is no one better.

My advice to those that have found someone who fits? Nurture it. Go on dates. Make an effort. Gerald Rogers is more eloquent than me so read this. He has some great advice.
