I do not want to meet someone at a bar, or a club, that is not me. However, I do want someone who gives me the freedom to go to a bar or club if I so please. I want someone who will trust me to be out on my own. I cannot and will not be baby sat.

I would prefer to meet someone within my field— music. It would not matter whether or not they are going for music education, performance, industry, composition, etc. It would not matter what their primary instrument is. I would love to meet someone based on our mutual interest and not interest alone— passion. I want someone who loves their dreams, goals, and despite hardships, their everyday lifestyle.

I want someone who is busy, hardworking ,and ambitious. I want us to be able to live our lives together and apart. I want us to live everyday life to our highest potential— I mostly want us to be happy.

I want someone who will accept me for all that I am. I want to be able lay out all of my baggage in front of them— show them how beautiful these reminders of the past can be when dusted off and arranged in just the right way on a shelf.

I want someone who will reveal to me their own past hardships, not as a “sob-story”, I want someone who has spent enough time coping that they are stronger from the cards they were handed. I do not want someone who is afraid to be on their own.

I want someone who is proud of me— never bitter from my accomplishments. More than anything, I want someone who is there because they want to be there, not because they need me or vice versa.

Unless I meet someone like this I am perfectly content, this is— If I Ever Fall in Love.
