I've tried to make a list twice and both times I've deleted it. I'd want someone with a good heart and soul. Someone who would take care of wounded animals. Someone who would rather spend a week in the middle of nowhere, camping, than going on an expensive trip. Someone who cares little for money or possessions. Someone who loves to read. Someone who sees everyone else in the world as his equal in every way. Kindness, compassion and tenderness.

Someone with these qualities would be so beautiful on the inside, it wouldn't matter at all to me what they looked like on the outside.
Looks mattered to me somewhat when I was younger. But at the same time, I was always able to see past the 'window dressing' and see that many people were much more beautiful on the inside and therefore, much more interesting to me.

Emotional depth - being able to love and to love all humankind.

Living outside the box - my idea of outside the box is to live simply. To NOT have to have everything that everyone else has or wants. To keep caring and fighting for the human race and the planet are much more important to me than personal risks. If one cares more about others than themselves, the improving and growing will happen on its own.

Of course, I've learned all this the hard way. And now I'm an old broad of 50 and as far as I'm concerned, that part of life is over.
It's just me, for as long as I have left on the planet.

But if I had to do it over again, these are the things I'd be looking for.
