The perfect somebody

Like the girl in Notting Hill we all want to someday find the perfect man... “I am just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love me....” romantic die hards live for words like this and they fuel the illusion of the perfect man. Well good luck finding the perfect man, in fact, even better luck finding the perfect anybody. Even the perfect you...
The perfect man is as perfect as what you think he should be. Our notions of perfection are directly tied to what we think we deserve, what we can live with and how far we are willing to compromise.

The current times are times that remind us that it is always good to believe in something more... trust in something higher and live a life worth writting a book about.
