I've always wondered how educated, rational and practical people like us can still believe in something as obsolete as the "perfect man" a.k.a "the one"... Each time we enter a relationship, we tend to leave our normal lives behind and start leading the life that is expected from us. Right from the clothes we wear to the people we spend time with. We start compromising on everything and not even realize that in the bargain we lose a piece of our souls along the way of this transition of trying live up to that "perfect" image we want so badly to create in the other persons mind. And when we finally succeed in planting that image in their heads, we struggle to maintain it! We give up everything, to finally find we re alone at the end of it, because they move on after finding out that we re really not AS perfect as they thought. But do they ever look at themselves and evaluate their level of perfection? NO. They reserve the right to judge us, but are ignorant enough to overlook their own flaws. Ridiculous! And who gave them the right to be so judgmental about us anyway? And if they do choose to be with us, IN SPITE of our flaws, they rub it in or blame any problem that comes their way on our shortcomings,without question or rationale. How does everything suddenly become our fault if your life is not working out the way you planned it to? Ignorance is sometimes a blessing but it can also be such a curse! Food for thought....
