Chaotic Mess.

I don't know about you, but I'm no fairytale princess. Love isn't all about kisses, hugs, and holding hands. It's about the fighting, insane, chaotic mess too. Love isn't always a fantasy...it has a lot to do with reality. Sometimes people don't always see that, but it's true. People say they believe in "love at first sight," but I'm not one of those people. I think it takes time, and building up a history. It involves a lot of getting to know each other, seeing each other's strengths and weaknesses, and making memories.

Falling in love with someone is about their good points, but also their flaws and imperfections. It is about falling in love with the person as a whole---all the little quirks that make them, them.

Don't get me wrong; love is an absolutely wonderful, overwhelming, emotion. Just remember the next time you are infatuated with someone that you don't love them. At least, you don't love them yet, but maybe someday you will. That's why you need to take it slow...don't rush things, because it might turn into a chaotic disaster of hate, rather than a chaotic mess of love.

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.

Imperfections.

I was thinking about imperfections today. Imperfection is something everyone should be able to relate to. Everyone has their own imperfections, whether it has to do with the way we look, feel, or act. Sometimes our imperfections are not so bad at all, but it is just the way we view the so-called "imperfections" that makes them seem bad. Of course we do have some imperfections that we would like to change. I know that there have been times when I've cared about someone so much that I have smothered them. It is a fault that I am trying to work on. We all have our faults and our weaknesses. I think a positive thing we can do is to accept the imperfections we are not able to change. We can try to appreciate the quirkiness of our imperfections as a special trait that helps to define who we are. As for the imperfections we can change maybe we should change certain aspects of ourselves and maybe we should not change others. It all depends on the individual trait that we call an imperfection. Maybe when you take the time to reflect you will realize that you don't have so many imperfections after all!
