Right Wrong

11/6/2015

“We’re all seeking that special

person who is right for us.

But if you’ve been through

enough relationships,

you begin to suspect

there’s no right person,

just different flavors of wrong.

Why is this?

Because you yourself

are wrong in some way,

and you seek out partners

who are wrong in some

complementary way.

But it takes a lot of living

to grow fully into

your own wrongness.

And it isn’t until you

finally run up against

your deepest demons,

your unsolvable problems—

the ones that make

you truly who you are—

that we’re ready to

find a lifelong mate.

Only then do you

finally know what

you’re looking for.

You’re looking

for the wrong person.

But not just any

wrong person:

it’s got to be the right

wrong person—

someone you lovingly

gaze upon and think,

“This is the problem

I want to have.”

I will find that special

person who is wrong for

me in just the right way.”
