This makes no sense at all

So I wrote a post the other day, posted it, then promptly deleted it a few short hours later. Why? Because it was depressing. Not that I have anything against depressing posts, but this one included a very sad and awkward video that made the viewer feel nothing but awkwardness and pity for the subject, aka me. Anywho, if you really want to find said video I'm sure you can. Moving on. Heyo.

Let me tell you a little bit about my experience with relationships. First of all, I have this nasty habit of trying to see the best in everyone, which has led me to my fair share of fixer-upper relationships (Please note, this does not include all relationships I've been in, just some of them). This simply means that some dudes exist in the world that should not be in relationships for a variety of reasons, yet I see the good inside them and decide that I should be their girlfriend. First mistake. I should just learn to stay friends with these fine fellows. Stemming from that, from each dude in my relationship history, I've started to learn what I like about some boyfriends and what I don't like about some boyfriends. Each of them (regardless of how good/bad/otherwise the relationship was), had some quality that I liked at some point. Here are a few examples:

Made me laugh
Made me think
Made me dinner
Sang to me
Had ambition
Stood for their beliefs
Dressed well
Were honest and open about everything
Brushed my hair out of my face
Encouraged me to do better
Liked my friends
Liked my dog
Took me on adventures
Brought me back to reality
Used the brain inside their head
Genuinely cared about people around them
Lived passionately
Wanted to improve the world, not just live in it

Those were just a few. So here's the skinny, as someone told me yesterday, when you're young your heart is supposed to get broken and it will happen more than once. The lesson I learned is that through every dating experience, I've recognized something unique in each guy I'm drawn to. While whatever quality I'm drawn to seems like the most important quality for any man to ever have ever, really, what I'm recognizing is the unique strengths of each person. Because I already know them, the most dominant parts of their personality will obviously seem like the most important quality at the time, because for them, those are the most important things. Because I'm already attracted to them, they also seem like the most important. Make sense? Good. Because I think that was a logical loop of some kind. I do not have the foggiest clue where this was supposed to be going so I'm going to bed now.

Oh wait. I have a sweet-A video for you. Timelapse Room Cleaning. Oooohhhh yeeeaaaahhhh. Proof that I can have a clean room! :D
