  • right one could probably be boiled down to:

    heavy oversimplification warning

    if anyone involved has their set of values / demands / needs met / heard / respected, with some room to

    push each other forward — not like climbing the everest everyday, more of learning how to take smooth turns

    grow — enjoy the things you enjoy, learn the skill you are learning, read the thing you want to read, self-discoveries, sharing experiences from your journeys

    fail — nothing better forming in a relationship than some of those simple human fuckups sprinkled on top, especially valuable if the side doing the fucking up can do the cleaning up part too, or at least is learning (or willing to learn) how to do it.

    quality time together — the more easily it happens, the better, but this takes time to learn and polish

    bonus: one of the greatest indicators about what type of a person is on your side is how they react to your tiny wins and small joys. If they jump on board and enjoy them with you — that’s one of the healthiest indicators of long term relationship potentials. You like flowers, they will smile almost any time you enjoy gardening or talking about that one beautiful one you saw the other day. They like painting, you will just feel great seeing them covered with paint…
