It's my definition, not yours

I ran into my friend Wark yesterday and we ended up talking about relationships (probably since both of us are going through transitional periods in our own respective ones), and the phrase "no one is perfect" got thrown in there

I think I read somewhere that someone who is "perfect" can't be anything else (actually thinking about it, I think it was a "For Better or For Worse" strip). I was really young when I read it and really took it to heart.

The word 'perfect' or 'perfection' to me has always seemed trivial or inappropriate because it's so subjective and paradoxical. I've been called perfect a couple of times and it's always annoyed me because it shows that the person didn't know me at all.

Um.... so I guess what I mean to say is that I totally agree. XD

It's hard for me, too, to hear someone call me perfect. I think when someone says that, what they really mean to say is "you're perfect FOR ME"...or at least, that's what I would hope they would mean. :3

Imperfect people rule! ♥

[sobloodycute]

They do. ♥

I'm sorry but....you ran into a Chocobo yesterday?

And

but to someone, I might be that mesh, that click, that perfectly imperfect piece that fits next to their equally imperfect piece to make something that finally feels...whole.

MIGHT?

Hey is this the friend you talked about on the ferry?

[sobloodycute]

Uhh...I dunno? XD; I can't remember what I said, lol
If you're free, I'm on aim. :3

I am a perfectionist, by zodiac sign and nature. However, the most important things to me are honesty and integrity. And after that, I think I prefer them odd and a little au natural. Like you. It's very disarming to perfectionists like me. :)

You see, part of that behavior also comes from being tormented, from being judged so hard that it made me want to remove myself permanently from the planet starting at 8 years old. You don't forget being hated like that. Then my schools demanded the highest results from us, immense pressures there as well. Others may have other motivations, but those were mine. Learning to forgive myself for not being perfect is the hardest damn thing I've nearly ever had to do. I doubt I'll ever be completely over it.

Not so much the odd part. The other thing I like about you is that you're cheery without being manic or needing to be funny all the time. Basically, you're sweet but not phony.

Awww...thank you. ♥ (Though I have been labeled as "odd" by many. It never bothers me, though, it's just me bein' me, lol.)

I can understand where you're coming from. I've been depressed most of my life. My father probably being one of the biggest reasons behind that (he's not a very kind or sensitive person, and made me feel ugly and unlovable for most of my childhood). It's taken me YEARS to get to the point where now I actually have a few shreds of self-confidence. It's still hard for me to believe there are people out there who find me likable and--GASP!--even attractive...but I've been trying my hardest.

I'm always highly suspicious of "perfect" people. :P And I agree with you that perfect people don't exist. Even when I read books about fictional characters that come off as perfect automatically makes me dislike them intensely because it's just so dang unrealistic. We all have weaknesses and flaws, it's what makes us beautifully human. :D

And I love you just the way you are! *hug*

[sobloodycute]

I totally agree! I hate reading about characters that are too perfect. Then again, I seem to always have a soft spot for characters that have problems they have to overcome, or interesting character flaws. I guess it makes them easier for me to relate to them?

Awww, thank you hon. X3 *hugs*
