The Right Person Won’t Mind Your Meltdowns, Your Clinginess, Or Your Overthinking

The right person is going to find your clinginess cute. They’re going to be flattered you want to spend so much time with them. They’re going to be excited to see you every single weekend and wake up to texts from you every single morning. They’re going to be as invested in the relationship as you are, as clingy as you are. They won’t want to spend a night without you.

The right person isn’t going to get bothered by your overthinking. They’re going to understand the reason why you overanalyze everything is because you care, because you want them to be happy, because you want your relationship to last. They’re going to appreciate how much effort you put into everything you do and everything you say. They’re going to make you feel valued and validated.

The right person isn’t going to mind your meltdowns. They aren’t going to run away the second your smile fades into a scowl. They aren’t going to leave you to deal with your issues alone. They’re going to stick by your side. They’re going to help you through your roughest moments. They’re going to remind you everything is going to be okay and help turn their promise into a reality.

The right person isn’t going to get turned off when they see you without makeup, without your hair done, without shaved legs. They aren’t going to care whether you’re wearing loose sweatpants or tight yoga pants. They’re going to love you, no matter what you’re wearing. They’re going to compliment you, no matter how self-conscious you feel.

The right person isn’t going to judge your weirdness. They’re going to join in with your weirdness. They’re going to get loud and crazy around you. They’re going to make you laugh until your stomach hurts. They’re going to fit you perfectly, in a way you never thought possible.

The right person isn’t going to mind how often you need reassurance. They’re going to remind you how much they love and appreciate you every chance they get. They’re not going to let too much time pass without a compliment because they want you to feel as beautiful as you look in their eyes. They want you to know they haven’t lost interest in you, haven’t gotten bored by you, haven’t regretted a second of their time spent alongside you.

The right person isn’t going to get annoyed by your intensity. They aren’t going to wish you stopped texting them so much, stopped asking to see them so much, stopped acting like you. They’re going to be proud of the fact they get to call you their girlfriend. They’re going to show you off whenever they have the chance. They’re going to adore every little piece of you, even the things you’ve always considered flaws.

The right person isn’t going to hurt you, lie to you, abandon you. They’re going to be as excited as you are to enter the future together, to reach new milestones together, to spend the rest of your lives together. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
