I don't need life to be perfect. I don't need a man to be perfect. I want to be healthy, I want to be healthy, and I want to feel safe. I want a man who has flaws that can be lived with, that make him human. The search for perfection can only leed to disappointment, but it is possible to find a life and a relationship that is perfect for me.
When I was younger I wanted a perfect man. The one on the white horse who would make everything all better. Now I want one who can repsect me as a woman and a partner, and listen to my concerns without feeling I can't handle them myself. I don't need someone to do everything for me, but I'd like him to want to do some things for me. It's ok if he snores, or if he takes his hobbies a little to seriously, that just means that he's comfortable enough with me to show flaws. I don't want someone so close to perfect they think no one will ever be good enough for them...I've been there, and it doesn't end well.
I don't need a home that looks perfect, I need one that feels comfortable. I dont' need a car with no scratches, I need one that transports myself and my family safely. I don't need the weather to be wonderful every day, but I do like to feel safe and cozy. I have fears, and I try to face them. I have disappointments and I try to overcome them, and I look for the joy in the every day.\
If we look hard enough there is a lot in life that makes it good enough, that makes it comfortable, and that makes it happy. Perfect isn't happy.
