Perfect

Yea, I know I'm at work right now, but I was inspired by a chick-rock song. After thinking about all of my qualms lately, this song really stuck in my head...and I had to replay it over because I was so taken with the similarities. Some excerpts:

"With everything I do for you, the least you could do is keep quiet...
I'm doing this for you, and I'm damn good, you'll make up for what I blew, what's the problem, why are you crying?..."

Yea, I found those words to fit with the way I'm feeling right now. The more we try to control things in our lives, the more we loose control. I've found, throughout my short stay in this world, that you can't control anything...your emotions, your words, your thoughts, other people...nothing!!!! You've got to roll with it. The most you can do is give yourself and those around you opportunities to do something...anything...to make them feel better about themselves. That's what its all about, in my mind. To make people do that a certain way is just being too control-freakish, if you ask me.

Why do you want to create something perfect? Why not try to create perfect opportunities for yourself? For others? Leave room for space to grow, change, for people to make decisions for themselves???

In being perfect, you are imperfect...and in being imperfect, you are perfect. Why was that so hard for me to wrap my head around?
