What's perfect to you?

Before I started to write this blog, I didn't know what to write about. Everything I write about always seems to have a trending topic so I thought I ask people for suggestions.

So I did and still couldn't find anything to write about. But as a friend was talking about her daily problems when she wakes up in the morning, a light bulb clicked.

She was telling me that when she sleeps with her socks on but ends up elsewhere when she gets out of bed, and when she wakes up to eat breakfast, she doesn't know how much cereal to put in her bowl. There was a few more things she listed but at the same time, I was thinking about some ideas to write about.

...

We all run into those problems or difficult situations , whether if it's wondering how much cereal to put in a bowl or fighting with a family member. We never want to encounter that bump in the road but in time, it seems to appear out of the most unexpected times.

But if we, as human beings, lived in a perfect world, there would be nothing to look forward to in life. No excitment. Nothing. When I hear someone say, "I want to live in a world where everything is perfect", I think to myself, "Really?" I can picture them thinking living a happy, married life in a nice home in a nice neighborhood, going to work at their dream job, everything is just oh-so perfect. Everyone smiling and have everything they want.

Don't get me wrong, I never want to have problems of any kind, but living in an oh-so perfect world is just boring to me.

When I think of a perfect world, I think of imperfection; dealing with adveristy and everyday problems. If it weren't for those 'how much cereal I should eat', 'who's a better athlete', 'I have to find a job', or simply dealing with death, we wouldn't be the people who we are today; the different emotions, different feelings, different perspective, etc.

If you have a bad day, don't dwell on it. Even though that day may not have been perfect, tomorrow is perfectly a new day to start over.
