To meet someone who you look up to like they are gods and goddesses, sometimes that person can disappoint you a bit.

I attract perfect beings whom I can love and will love me in return. God and Goddesses of Love guide me to find my true love.

I was told that Ganesha sat between Lakshmi and Saraswati. My quest to attain the blessings of both goddesses explains my physique.
