#TheSW30: Day 8--New & Improved

Hello, all. I've had some very personal things going on the last few months, so blogging was honestly put on the back burner. But, that's neither here nor there. On my unexpected hiatus, I've had quite some time to think about this question, and I think that I may have come up with my list finally.


Day 8: Five things that are most important to you in a future mate.

1)Support
2)Determination
3)Empathy
4)Attractiveness
5)Humility

Now for the breakdown:

  • Support---Having my man's support is a great deal to me because it shows me that he not only believes in who I am as a person, but also what I can do. Also, I struggle with having a ton of emotional support from other people that I care about greatly, so it's nice to have somebody in my corner.
  • Determination--Life has knocked me down more than a few times and I've managed to get back up and go towards my dreams. It does not matter to me how you get or who may help you get up, as long as you get up. I want someone who will never stop showing me how much he cares for ,adores and loves me. I'm not saying he has to always bust out the Discover card , but he does have to genuinely put in some effort to make me happy.
  • Empathy--I want someone that understands that sometimes, I'm gonna be a little meaner/crabbier/sadder/angrier than usual [whether I intend to or not], but still chooses to stick around. Often more than not, people tend to run away from a fight once the first sight of trouble arrives usually because they do not really try to understand the other person;'s perspective.
  • Attractiveness--You can call me 'shallow' or whatever else, but I honestly do not see myself being with somebody long term if I'm not attracted to them. Mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. I've tried dating someone that I wasn't all the way attracted to, and let's just say, it didn't end very well at ALL. 
  • And lastly, Humility--a person that can humble themselves is an amazing character to just be around. I'm not saying not to be confident, but I'm also not down with arrogence.
Certainly there are many more qualities, but these five have the greatest impact on me, mainly because the vast majority I never really got to experience. Hopefully, someday in the future, I will do so with a wonderful and beautiful man that I'll love with all of my heart [more like what's left of it].
