"Love is not about finding the perfect person, it's about learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."
I saw this line in a very old email today, as I was planning to cancel that account, and it became the inspiration for my blog today. There is much to be said about whether or not we should be searching for the perfect person, or loving the imperfect person perfectly! In all honesty, the Lord has made me see this lately. Everything in life isn't always going to be perfect...hell...it probably won't be anything close to that, but the thought of loving someone that isn't our "perfect person" is scary and totally no the "in" thing to do.
Think back to the "dream guy/girl" you always thought you'd end up with....is that what you got? More than likely, NO...you got someone that attracted you for whatever reason and you grew to love that person. Truth be told, you probably have said to yourself and maybe even that person, I never thought I would end up with someone like you... "SOMEONE LIKE ME" is usually the response, but that isn't always a bad thing. Sometime, we hold our standards so HIGH that we can't get anywhere close. Now ladies/fellas...I am by no means saying that you should settle, however I am saying that just because the man/woman you are with doesn't drive the Jaguar you always thought he/she would, or live in the $600 thousand dollar house you thought you would be coming over to doesn't make him/her unworthy of your love.
Just because, as women, we are "pretty" and have our "shyt" together doesn't make us perfect. We have our faults too ladies and someone has to learn to love us and all our imperfect parts as well. I don't think there is a woman out there that can honestly say that they got their dream man! Hell, I don't think there are any men out there that can say they got their dream woman, however there are people out there that can say they got a "good" man or a "good" woman.
Let's stop dreaming and wake up people...as someone once said, and I don't recall where I heard ir...life is too short to continue searching for 100% when you have a perfect 85% or 90% already in your life. Make your decisions wisely, just remember, there is only one "perfect person" and he hasn't come back yet!
