When Words Would Only Get In The Way

17She was The Princess of Impulse and he was The Prince of Patience.  They were, in many ways, a matched-fit for one another.  But the greatest discoveries they made about their relationship and about their lives weren’t so much about what they had in common or about how they were nearly-perfect opposites in all the right ways.

What they learned that meant more to them than anything else was that when you make a mistake, you don’t beat yourself up about it and you don’t make unrealistic vows to never do it again.  You simply accept that your flaws are just as important as your qualities.  And you need to fall in love with someone’s mistakes as much as you do their triumphs.
