Recently, I created a profile on a matrimonial site. Not because I'm desperate to get married. But because I'm genuinely looking for my person, my permanent best friend.
My roommate asked me what I wanted to put in the bio. I was not sure. But I guess if I am completely honest about my feelings and what I want, it will be like this…
What I'm Looking For
Someone I can travel with and go to functions and funerals.
Someone with whom I can be raw, real, stupid, silly, and completely myself.
The innocent me, the emotional me, the loud-me-crying-in-a-blanket me.
I want someone with whom I can be vulnerable. Cry as much as I want. Tell all the f*ck-ups. Share all the good things too.
What I Want to Be
At the same time, I want to be his best friend too.
The one who's there in the quiet hours,
The one who notices every small shift in his mood,
Every silence between words,
Every little detail that others might miss.
I want to be the one he can count on — for happy moments, yes. But also in the chaos, in confusion, in those heavy days when words are few, emotions run deep.
Someone who shows up, even without being called. Someone who cares about the tiniest things — his favorite song, the way his voice changes when he's tired, the stories he doesn't say out loud.
I want to be that best friend, the one who stays.
The Kind of Connection
I'm looking for the kind of connection where we can laugh the weirdest, loudest laughs and cry too.
(P.S. I cry very loudly and laugh too. It's a whole vibe :)
I'm looking for a best friend who:
- Supports me in all my highs and lows
- Corrects me when needed
- Makes life feel like a shared playlist — with all the wrong notes and right lyrics
I'm looking for my permanent best friend. The one I'll introduce to my family and say, "This is the person I'm proud of, the one I've chosen — my best friend I get to grow old with."
Not someone perfect. Just someone I can always have with me — mutually, truthfully, wholeheartedly.
