Some of the best advice I’ve ever received was to seek out the kind of person who understands how to bring out the sun even during the fiercest storms. The kind of person who sees through your struggles and knows how to make you smile, even when you feel like you’re sinking into sadness.
But perhaps the most important piece of wisdom was to find someone who, in moments when you’re at your lowest, reminds you that even in the most broken of times, there’s still something worth holding on to. Someone who knows how to make the best of things when you feel like you’re beginning to unravel.
Because, at the end of the day, it’s not just about finding someone to share the good moments with—it’s about having someone who stands by you, not in spite of your flaws, but because of them. Someone who makes the difficult times bearable, and the beautiful moments even more unforgettable.
