We live amongst people, yet we die alone.

I really think I need to understand the sufferings of birth, old age, sickness and death. I want to know what it means to be alive. I am floating in my own ignorance. I'd like to find out what it means to live. I want to find what it means to love and be loved back. I want my love to be returned--thought it's only a requirement for partners and boyfriends and the like.

What do I want to find in a boyfriend, in a lover, in a partner?
-He has to be able to listen?
-He's gotta be willing to compromise?
-He has to laugh at my jokes--even if they are laughs of 'how stupid?'
-He's attractive.
-He's motivated.
-He likes sports--any of them.
-He is true to himself as well as true to others.
-He loves the outdoors as much as he loves the indoors.
-A movie is as appealing as a concert which is as appealing as the beach which is as appealing as the trails. Just some thoughts.
-If he spoke spanish, chinese, japanese, french, german, russian, arabic, italian, or hindi it'd be really nice.
-If he spoke them all, that'd be heaven. ;).
