I know this isn’t my typical blog post, but I just have to share something special with you. I’m not sure who originally said this, but it really resonates with me. If you know the source, feel free to tell me. It would have fit perfectly with another post I wrote, but I only just came across it. It brought a smile to my face, and I hope it does the same for you.
The idea is to marry your best friend. It’s not a suggestion to take lightly. Truly find the strongest and happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Look for someone who talks positively about you and someone you can share genuine laughter with—the kind that makes your stomach hurt and causes you to snort. These are the funny, heartfelt laughs that heal. Having a sense of humor is crucial. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be silly with them. Make sure they are also someone who lets you cry because tough times will happen. Find someone you want by your side during those moments. Above all, marry the person who blends passion, love, and madness within you—a love that stays strong even when life gets challenging.
