Is There a Difference Between Acceptance and Negativity?

We spend so much time trying to find someone like who i am, when what we're really craving is someone who has an acceptance of who i am. When you find someone who's who truly accepts us and isn't asking us to be something else, we start to value that in that person more than any of the other silliness that we've said we have to have. And it's why i think one of the truly exquisite experiences to be had in love is when we find someone who may be vastly different from us, but is incredibly accept of us.
