Vroom?

Everyone wants to think that they are or could be everyone's "The One" if only anyone gave them the chance.

But what about when all the secrets come out, the habits, the flaws and the quirky things you only get a glimpse of after you've put in your dues, time, and effort?
I'm beginning to see the harsh reality that I'm not anyone's "The One" at this moment and maybe not in any place to be anytime soon if we're telling the truth here.
Maybe there's a few more years experience needed before I can be a good girlfriend, partner, and mate to someone who is going to need me to be there to be take up the reins when he's down, to be supportive and take care of US when he's not able to take care of me.
I'm ok with waiting for him and I'm slowly falling in love with him already. And if he never comes along, I've already learned to be alone, I just need to learn how to accept it, and that's slowly happening.

There's this joke and analogy that was on How I Met Your Mother, about a speeding woman and a police officer who pulls her over. Her retort to the officer when asked about speeding was something along the lines of " I got here as fast as I could, Officer!".
This relationship I'm in now might or might not last. As sad as it would be if it didn't, I would learn and grow and be a better person in any relationship I got involved in afterwards. Life's preparing me so that one day I'll be able to share my life and enhance someone else's. And if I've already arrived with the relationship I'm in, we've a few bumps in the road but it'll smooth out.

To my future partner, there's will be a few stops, a few detours, maybe a couple stays, but I'm on my way and I'm coming as fast as I can.
