In thinking about relationships, I think it impossible to find a human being without baggage of some kind. Baggage is simply what we have collected and kept with us out of desire or need to posses it. Sometimes it is something we consciously choose...sometimes it is something we don't know how to look at so we just toss it in the bag and keep walking. Each person walking, collecting... every day they get the chance to live and be here adds something, or maybe its the process of releasing pieces to make room for something we assume we will treasure more... but are destined to release in the future...
ALL that obscurity aside... when looking for a mate, don't seek to find someone without baggage... instead just look for someone with baggage that matches your own. That way when you both go home at night you can each drop your bags in the middle of the room in plain sight... knowing what it is in its familiarity and simply accepting it. Then its not a hurdle to be explained away...yes, EVEN when company comes over. Worst case... shoot for something that at least coordinates... because there is no way someone that has blue plaid luggage will understand or embrace your beloved orange paisley... but orange stripes just might work.
