I want to meet a man with whom I don't have to play "I can do it myself" and prove that I'm cool. So that I don't have to hide that sometimes I just want to cuddle up and do nothing, decide nothing, and not be on guard. So that he just accepts me - not the strong one, not the perfect one, but the one who sometimes breaks down, who laughs loudly and for no reason, who can cry from a movie and then smile right away.

This doesn't mean that I'm weak. I just don't want to be in armor all my life. Sometimes I want to take it off and be real - with all my oddities and shortcomings. Sometimes I don't want to look like a perfect picture, but to be alive, the way I really am.

I believe that with the right person you don't have to be a hero. You can just be yourself. You don't have to prove anything and you don't have to be on guard. Just be. And that's a miracle.

I wonder, what do you think — does it ever happen that when you're with someone you feel like you can throw off all this weight and just breathe easy?

I still believe in it, and even if there's no one around — I don't stop waiting. Because otherwise it's just not interesting to live if there's no such opportunity.

After all, it's true, you don't want a strong woman, but a real one. Like this — with her funny habits and real feelings.

This is who I am now. Do you feel the same way? 💭
