"someone to love the you you love"

“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.”

I read this quote today- I don't know who said it, but the last line stuck.

I really like this quote. Sadly the likelihood of finding that one who can love the you you love is astronomical in itself.
It's amazing how many different factors need to come together in order for us to find that "One", for not only does that person need to love the you you love, but WE also need to love the he/she he/she loves too.
But I have faith and perhaps my "One" may not be the one I have already created in my mind's eye. I may need to learn how to look past my own pre-conceived notions and open my eyes to what is already around me to see her.
