When I was younger, the thought of anyone fixing me up with a partner of any sort filled me with dread. I knew the kind of guy my parents wanted for me was not the kind that would interest me — even remotely. For starters, he would be a “businessman,” with the same religious/material values they held.
Every cell in my body said “no.” I was looking for the opposite — as in, someone who wasn’t living a conventional life, but an exciting one. What did that mean? An artistic, poetic soul. Someone who attracted me and lived adventurously. I didn’t necessarily know what that meant, but I was sure I’d know it when I saw it.
If you think this sounds more like a movie than an actual person, you would be right. But what else would you expect from a seventeen-year-old?
