Every once in a while, we meet people who we just click with. Sometimes, it happens within the very first conversation you have with them; other times, it happens later on. But either way, something about them peaks your interest, and makes you want to be their friend.
Seven years ago today, my cousin, Matthew, passed away. He was thirteen years old—far too young to die. I honestly don’t even remember the details of how it happened, but none of that really matters to me. What matters is that it happened, and that he didn’t deserve it. He was too good of a person.
It’s kind of hard to think of characteristics you want in a partner. You don’t want to be too picky, but you don’t want to have nonexistent standards. I asked Caitlyn just the other morning what are some ways that a guy could win her heart, and she had a hard time coming up with ten things. She hesitated for a long time, and we even lost track of conversation.
