What everyone wants and what no one has

PERFECTION.

Everyone has a different definition of perfection. Some people can't put it into a definition. Some seek perfection in their appearances, some in their work, other's in their art or craft.

For me, I am looking for total perfection. When I'm getting ready for school, my poof needs to be perfectly symmetrical and my eyeliner exactly even. At work I staple, stamp and fold everything in the exact same place on every single paper. In the kitchen, I actually take measurements (I have my own way of measuring a 'pinch') and keep everything equal.
I have these ideas in my head of the perfect woman (who I want to be), the perfect man (who I'm looking for), the perfect relationship (the one I'm chasing after) and of course the fairy tail ending. And we all know life doesn't really work like that, does it?

But why? Why do we all stride for perfection. Don't they say that if we were all alike, life would be boring? In turn, if everyone was perfect the world would be so boring. We wouldn't have imperfections to laugh at and to love. And I don't want everyone else to be perfect. Not that I'm selfish and want to be the only one who is perfect. But because I love the imperfections in other people. Just not in myself.

So how do I be more perfect? Or maybe the right question is, how do I stop my desire for complete perfection and except all of my own imperfections?



note:
I've been wanting to write this blog to sort of find myself, to help guide myself through life and find answers to the questions I have. But how can I do that when all I do is think? I don't have any answers for myself and lately, the questions just seem to keep building up. I don't know how no one has written a book with all the answers yet....don't we have just about everything else?
