No One is Perfect...

Touching on the same subject I talked about earlier but...

No One is Perfect, but I feel that it is the perceived "imperfections" that make a person beautiful and lovable in their own right. I tend to care more about a person for their imperfections quirks and flaws. They are also a major part of being a human being.

I coined a word back in 2010 and I'll use it here too: It is a wonderful thing to be "YOUnique"

You are perfect just as you are, you are the best you that has ever been. Love that about yourself and others will love that about you too :)


Happy Valentine's Day once Again!  <3

When You Love Someone...

 

I saw this today and it got me thinking. So, I did what I do best, and decided to write about it.

I am going to tackle this from two angles. Part 1: I do sort of agree with the statement, "You don't have to be nice all the time."

Why?

I agree because when you are in a mutually loving relationship you should love each other enough to not only deal with a person at their best but also stick by them when they're at their worst. That is what love is, accepting a person in all they're colorful and ecclectic glory, for no person is one dimensional and it is unrealistic to expect people to be great all the time.

Part 2: I also sort of disagree.

Why?

It's simple, when you love someone enough, you think about how your actions affect the other person before you act. Being in love doesn't always give you carte blanche to do what you feel to others. If you truly love someone you work on trying to find ways to bring them joy, not just doing what you feel just because they love you enough to deal with your nonsense and vice versa.

This one also stood out to me because it is Valentine's Day (Happy Valentine's Day by the way!) but also its a meme from a show I watch called GIRLS. Love that show. I also secretly hope those two characters work out their differences and get back together. They were weird but they were the perfect weird that fits each other. :)

Anyways, that's my stance on love, accept and cherish people for who they are. The Good, The Bad, The Sometimes Confusing, and The Ugly.

Marilyn Monroe once said, "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best."

Also, love one another, be considerate of how what you do affects those around you and those you love.

Happy Valentine's Day AGAIN and if no one says it to you today, I love you!

The Ego

So I came across this picture the other day on Facebook and it really does speak a profound truth in the most simplest of terms. Your head will talk you out of your hearts desire but over analyzing or applying too much logic. Also, as I thought further on the subject, its not so much your head as it is your EGO. Those three lovely letters which stem from the human need of self preservation.

I believe the home of the EGO is the brain, your heart could be saying, "I really love him/her and I want to talk to them or work things out." but then the EGO takes over in your mind and says, "Well it's their fault/They need to come to me/I'm not going to talk to them first." And other variations of the "selfish" variety.

I'm a firm believer in ignoring the EGO but let's face it, I am human, and the EGO is a persuasive little coward, which in turn makes me the coward for listening to it.

However, I am also a firm believer in following what your heart tells you. It is usually my number one piece of advice I give to a friend who is stuck in the midst of indecision on a situation. Your heart will not lie to you, in fact, I believe it is a gift and our best guide in choosing what is right or what is the right path. EGO, on the other hand, is a lot like a political lobbyist, it will lie/cheat/etc to turn you towards its agenda, as if it was a separate entity that happens to be residing in the same body. That is my thought for the day.

Below, I leave yet another piece that really made me think on this and perhaps it stood out because the one below happened to contain three things I would really like to say to someone but my EGO/HEAD/FEAR/COWARDICE and whatever else could be listed simply won't let me. An excuse perhaps but...it is what it is.
