it's not all cinderella stories, i can tell ya that. most people don't end up with their ideal partners simply because they dont exist. when we dream up a partner, we look at all the positives (ie she has to be pretty lah, kind lah, blah blah) but we never imagine what negatives she may have. love is just as much accepting the bad as it is accepting the good. a relationship is something to nurture and build. it is a never ending process.
