Good enough for me
Has everyone become so jaded that 'good enough' isn't REALLY good enough anymore? What the hell kind of a life is that? If you turn right now, right now dammit!, and look at the person you spend your time with, what do you see? Shortcomings? Oh yeah. Idiosynchracies? Sure. Pet peeves, pains-in-the-ass, bad habits? Yes yes yes. Now, do you think for one second that they can't see yours too? Do not delude yourself, you are not perfect. Far far from it, just like me and she and he and we and they. You project your fears and insecurities onto the one who best reflects them. Fine. Love is a battlefield, or whatever. But why constantly strive for something or someone better? Better than what, than whom? Than your partner...or you?
I don't understand why different is supposed to equal better. Why blondes have more fun. Why baptists don't get to drink. Why animals are only protected when there are less than seven of them left. Why some people are and never will be content with what they have. Just suck it up and love somebody. Damn.
