Mixed Emotions...

Mixed emotions; she does not know how to take them.
They are all jumbled up in her head, like a million lightning bugs that have just been set free in the middle of a desert.
It is like the one thing she has wanted for so long is suddenly standing right in her face, screaming. Then she realizes it is all just a facade. She is staring into a two-way mirror, and this thing is standing on the other side, not seeing her at all. It all feels so close, but so far away! She doesn't know whether to knock on the mirror, or just walk away...

Facades & Fantasies.

What do you do when a person you thought you knew was never the person you believed they were at all?

What if it was all just a facade, a mere glimpse at a fantasy that never will be?

What do you do when all you have left is that fantasy to hold on to?

Perfection is a Facade.

Have you ever thought somebody was that perfect person? Maybe you thought there was just something special about your friend, significant other, classmate or co-worker, or someone that you just admired and looked up to...but, we all know that no one is perfect. If you do not realize that by now, you definitely need to wake up and digest a bite of the real world.
There is nobody, anywhere out there, that is pure perfection with the exception of God.
However, it can be really easy to get caught up in someone and believe in the facade that this certain someone portrays. This person might not mean to seem perfect, but in spite of that, they still come off as perfect.
Deep down you know they are not. It is just common sense that nobody is perfect. Nevertheless, sometimes you unintentionally place someone up on a pedestal without even realizing it. I think most all of us do that to a certain extent; it's just human nature, except in some situations, it can go too far.
We place someone up so high in our minds, and then their imperfections start to show. At that point, we realize that they are merely human and it has the potential to be simply heartbreaking.
That is why sometimes we need to stop it before it goes too far. We need it to dawn on us, early on, that despite all of the great qualities someone might have, they are definitely not perfect. They have faults, difficulties, mistakes, and struggles just like the rest of us. When you finally take the time to think about this and take it all in, it could end up being such a relief.
At last, when you begin to see that nobody can possibly be perfect, you can take a deep breath and maybe, just maybe, be happy with yourself and with the people around you.
