    Sweet. I should find myself someone like that. Also, someone with whom you can talk (about anything and everything) for hours. I remember lying in bed at night with my ex talking until the wee hours (about the most random subjects! … politics, our childhoods). I miss that.

    But the most important for me is: someone who can make you laugh. I’ll forgive him if he can’t cook, but if he can’t make me laugh? …
