relationship advice i've been told over the years

somewhat reverse chronological

• as long as their inner child matches your inner child, then it will work
• don't worry whether if it works out or not, just enjoy the time you have right now
• find someone who comes from a loving family, they know what happiness is supposed to be
• are your values and life goals aligned with each other?
• see how they are like when you are sick. if they happily take care of you when you're ill, then you found a good partner
