who is he?*

He is driven, passionate about his dreams, about getting better, constantly evolving,
in work as in life.
His dreams are what anchors him to his everyday.
He has a balanced positive view of everything that comes his way.
When he needs to, he admits his faults in such a way that does not make him seem fallible but of strength and humility.
He has a child-like wonder at life, constantly amazed at the little surprises, grateful for every blessing, embracing pain and emerging the better for it.
He lives to seek out the humor in life and laughs at himself as much as he rejoices at the simple joys.
He drives. Because I think guys who know how to drive well are sexy. I don't care what car he has, as long as it's clean and that it smells good. I also think it's telling of an adventurer's spirit- he is someone I can call in a second to go out on trips with. He is someone I can have crazy fun with, in theme trips- backpacking through Asia, food-tripping in Europe, a beach weekend, an out of town hike. He likes discovering new things and new places with me. And oh he should love good food- discovering, cooking, experimenting, a chef wannabe.
He loves taking pictures- serious photography or hobbyist. On that note, he is someone who appreciates art and beauty, because I cannot be with someone who does not understand why it is important to be surrounded by beautiful things. He helps me shop, sometimes, and gives great fashion advice. He can be vain, in a funny, unexpected way- definitely not in an alarming way.
I like his playlists and music library, as much as I like the books that he reads and the movies he wants to watch. He makes me think, challenges me and proves me wrong sometimes. He is someone I can definitely learn from, but not an intellectual snob- gosh, I hate snobs. He sings for me Coldplay and sings with me silly songs and Broadway tunes, never mind the fact that we probably sound like Simon's rejects.
He makes me really laugh in his witty manner- not in a forced, polite way as I am wont to do. He likes old things and may be old-fashioned in some ways- old songs, the respect for his lineage, his family's name.
He cares about making me happy. He remembers the details, inconsequential or not, in a way that is not a huge effort but that which comes naturally for him, because he knows me, he remembers.
He is someone when, I am tired of being strong, I am able to trust to pick up the pieces, to hold my hand for just a bit while I get my bearings and will gently remind me that yes, I can do everything I want, just not world domination. He is someone I can trust from being there at a place and time agreed upon to raising our future children- from the small things to the big things.

He brings out the best in me and I hope to be with him in love and laughter.
