couple baggage david wygantIf someone asks you to describe your perfect person, would you include their baggage?

Would you describe the luggage that they carry around with them all day long?

Your perfect person: would you be able to help them carry their luggage?

Would you help them clean up when everything comes spilling out?

Here’s the deal:

There is no perfect person—we’re all a complete fucking mess.

And that is what makes us so beautiful.

Everyone comes with baggage; just make sure that your partner’s baggage doesn’t drive you deeper into your own personal hell.

If you think about it, you were placed on this universe at this time to meet that person and help teach them things.

That is the beauty of relationships. We’re all looking for our perfect person, but in reality we’re really looking to connect, help and grow.

So here is a question that you need to ask the next time you’re in a relationship with somebody:

Do they help you with your baggage?

Each relationship is designed to take another piece of clothing out of the suitcase until you have an empty suitcase at the end of your life.

When I am with somebody, I want to know that I can help empty their bags. Piece by piece, I want to help them unpack their suitcase and make their life a little lighter, easier, and happier.

So next time that you meet someone, help them unpack their suitcase and help them lighten their baggage. If it is not stressful then you’re the person for the job.

Empty your suitcase and see how they help you. If they do, then you actually have a really healthy relationship because that relationship is based on helping one another become stronger, more confident, powerful people.

And that is what a relationship is about. We meet people when we need to meet them. There is a reason why we’re attracted to people. Sometimes you’re doing more fixing. Other times you’re being fixed, but in reality, you’re there to help one another on the journey of life.

And who knows, maybe when all of the suitcase is fully empty you can start building up a new suitcase full of crap that you torture each other with at the end so that the next person can then go and unpack all the crap that happened in your current relationship.

But that is the pessimistic side. I truly believe that we’re here to help un-check each others issues, or bags.
