45 LIFE LESSONS, WRITTEN BY A 90 YEAR OLD

What it takes to exist inside my bubble...
(I started writing this back in the beginning of November and forgot to finish and publish it... I'm going to finish it now (a month later) and get it out to the universe to work it's magic.
I live in a bubble of happiness and love and acceptance with my soul sisters. I can be who I am and know that it will accepted with total love, honesty and respect. Those things should flow through to every aspect of my life and from anyone who wants to live in my bubble.
The last few weeks have been a reflective time for me when it comes to my own happiness and whether I'm ready for a relationship or not.
Last night, I had to have the "talk" with a good friend of mine who has admitted he has feelings for me. Thankfully he is someone who holds those values towards me as my sisters do, of love, honesty and respect, so it wasn't as awkward as it could have been.
From all this though, I've still been thinking. I wrote about the top 5 traits I need from a partner from a level of characteristics they need to have.
I look though at how my brothers treat their girlfriends, wives, partners etc, and I look at the relationships my soul sisters have with the gorgeous men that have been blessed to exist in their bubbles, and I want that. When I'm ready, I want that.
I want someone who will make me laugh so much I cry.
I want someone who will listen to my crap and actually listen and not judge.
I want someone who will remember the things I tell them.
I want someone who will be able to read me when I don't tell them.
I want someone who will want to drive me around but be happy to let me when I have the whim to.
I want someone who will treat me like I am the most important person in their life.
I want someone who will put me first.
I want someone who will give me the freedom I need and trust me to make my own decisions.
I want someone who will want to make decisions with me.
I want someone who will stand up for me, protect me, be on my side.
I want someone who will give me a massage when my back aches and I just want to cry.
I want someone who will play with my hair and tickle me even when I wack them for doing it.
I want someone who will know when no means no and when no means maybe.
I want someone who will be content to sit in silence with me or talk shit with me for hours.
I want someone that will fit into my life like my soul sisters have.
I want someone that when I look at them, they give me the good kind of shivers.
I want someone that looks at me like I give them the good kind of shivers.
I want someone who will like similiar sorts of things I do but also have their own interests and be able to accept that we are different, and be happy with that.
I want someone who will accept me, all of me, and love me because of those things.
I want Jesse, from Pitch Perfect. That to me, is my perfect man. Gorgeous, ridiculously funny, wants to look after and be there, actually cares and most importantly, is happy to be himself and content in who he is. Having their favourite movie as The Breakfast Club as well just seals the deal for me. Wow, just wow. If that character existed in real life, exactly like that, and was actually into me, I'd marry them in a heart beat.
