But I think
we need to realize the fact that your partner chose to live with you despite
all that - of all the billions of normal people, they chose to be with you – that
is what makes you special.
We already
know that nobody is perfect, but we assumed that each other's flaws will fit
nicely when you meet the right one. It's not a fairytale where everything fits
perfectly between each other. It's actually because the parts that fit are
sufficient enough that the parts that don't fit don't matter anything. You look
past each other's flaws to see the love in them.
The
Kinabalu climb taught me one thing - the simple and healthy life of the locals,
the majesty of the mountain, they made me see the vastness of the world.
Everything else became insignificant. I spend much of my time chasing money,
the importance of money is undeniable, it sustains the quality of life that you
lead. But what I missed is why money is important. Hiking through this journey
with her made me even more sure that she is the one I will walk with. I find
support and synergy between us that helped each other pull through the journey.
It’s not about words or actions, we just know we are there for each other.
She will be
the central of my world from this point on. She will be the lighthouse guiding
my path home so that I would not stray too far. Always remember why you started
– she will be the reason why I start the next phase. It's not that she is the
answer to everything - nobody is that magical. It's because I chose her to be
that reason, I chose her to lead the rest of my life with. The greens of the
field, the heights of the mountain, she is who I chose to walk with.
