a non-negotiable

i've been spending quite a bit of time lately pondering how nice it would be to meet that special guy. this contrasts greatly with the last time i broke up with my ex. at that time the mere thought of being in another relationship made me break into a cold sweat. i'm not exactly sure why the difference in reaction this time or which state I even prefer. i just know that love has been top of mind for me.

naturally, a part of this reflection has been on the attributes i'd like this individual to have (both physical and behavioral). when i think of all the various ones that have come to mind, it strikes me that there is one that trumps them all -- kindness. i'm not just referring to the way that person is with me, but really his general orientation and way of being in the world. i want to be with someone who cares about others and treats them with the reverence and consideration they deserve. a man who always attempts to look for the best in people and believes that there is worth in everyone.

for me there is nothing better than a genuinely kind person. i hope he's out there for me. i hope we find one another soon. and i hope we are able to build a long and happy life together. sigh, so many hopes.

ii was reminded of this performance tonight and wanted to share it here as a tribute to a phenomenal talent who left us way too soon.
