disregarding the labels

My sister keeps on telling me that "I'm like this" or "I'm like that" and she keeps on  predicting my actions on what I do next in about mostly all the areas of my life and most especially, my love life.

Every single person has different purpose in this world and me and my big sis are like total opposites in that field. She always think that I keep on changing things since I get bored that easily and I asked her this one question:

"What are the constant things that I have?"

We started making a list and we came up with this:
1. My pink pillow
2. My dolphin necklace

Yes, the list is short but at least there is.

My pink pillow- My mom gave me this pillow when I was 8 years old and until now (I'm 19), I can't sleep without it. It's this pink pillow with a specific pillowcase (no, I won't accept any other pillowcases. Good thing we have two of it's kind to keep my hygiene steady) I'm really, really clingy of this pillow that while I'm writing this post, I'm hugging it.
Why do I keep this thing constant?
Well, for years it has been with me through my ups and downs. It has been my comfort when I'm sad, when I'm crying and most especially when I wanted a hug. It's just too comfortable and it shares a really great value of my life that I don't want to lose it ever.

My dolphin necklace- My mom also gave this to me as a birthday gift. I really love dolphins. I imagine myself as a mermaid with my dolphin friends. This necklace would keep me in my human form so when I try to get it off, I'll return to my mermaid figure and that's a big no-no in this world since people will find me and hunt me (huhuh, i cri T.T) Seriously though, I haven't get it off ever since. It's my lucky charm and it gives me strength to face the hard things I encounter in this world. It gives me comfort and assurance that I can do it.

Yes, I get bored so easily and yes, I keep changing stuff,  it's because I'm trying to find the right one for me, the one that fits me perfectly, and when I do, I would keep it like a precious little treasure and never will exchange it to anything.

Regarding my love life though, my sister is wrong. I'm not like that. It just happened that I have not found the one yet, the one I considered as true love of my life. The considerably few boys (three) I once dated were just lessons. Lessons to mold me into a better being. As I have said before, we each have different purposes in life. One purpose I have is to share what I learn. I always tell my sister about what I learned in dating this-and-that's, what to avoid, and what to do. I know that God is just preparing me to be the best version of myself for that one special constant I will have eventually. That would be the most precious treasure that I will never ever exchange to anything.
