One quality I look for in a romantic partner is....

someone who understands me. someone who actually cares about me as a person and sees more than just my mental illness.

Someone who's funny and knows how to cheer me up.

Loving, caring and understanding. Someone who would be there for me during my moments of light and darkness. Not someone who would run away when I need understanding.

someone who understands me

and will be there for me, by my side

I would want a partner I can tell everything to. Someone who can empathize and show me that he still loves me even through all the ugliness and depression I have gone through in my life. I would want him to be my biggest supporter that I can count on for anything. I want to be able to trust him about anything and everything. I want to be able to cry without being given the cold shoulder. To worry and show affection when needed. To really love me for everything I am for me. Not for my looks. Not for my body type. Just plain and simple, Me. To take me as I am and accept me as I am.

commitment.

Someone who isn't afraid of being alone, but wants to be with me anyway

Someone who isn't toxic.

Equanimity

Loyalty
