Perfect People, Perfect Places, and the world where I reside.

I am just astounded by all the perfect people I meet on and offline. You know the ones. The beautiful, never had a pimple, always dressed and coiffed people. The ones that have never had a bad experience. That have never been hungry. Have never been someplace in their lives where they needed guidance they didn't get (tho I don't know how they made it through college never missing at least one meal).

The men that don't want gold diggers, but have nothing to say except how much they make. The women that aren't %#&@$!s but are ready to sleep with any man that shows interest. The ones that know how to cure all the world's ills but can't quite figure out what conversation is. The ones that always have the answers yet remain as clueless as the rest of us.

I have no idea where these people came from. I'm from the real world. A world where a person who never smoked can die of lung and throat cancer. Where the person with the prettiest spirit may have the least attractive face. A place where a pretty person doesn't always get her/his way. A place where a rich man may be morally poorer than a man that lives on the streets. A place where beautiful, young, talented, gracious, fun loving people die of a terrible disease before reaching their goals. One where the dregs of the earth have someone that loves the just because yet a kind heart and loving spirit may just die alone. A place where people understand that trials aren't always an attack of the enemy, they cn also be your way to heal another soul with an affirmation of a joyful LIFE.

I prefer my world and the people that live in it with me. I don't trust perfect people. A perfect world is a foreign one that I'm unwilling to travel. My joys are sweeter because I've felt pain. I've fallen a few times but I got up only to fall again. But now I stand tall and strong and steady. Loving the life GOD blessed me with. The winters aren't so bad. The sun shines beautifully when it's hot. Yeah. That's where I want to live with him and HIM.


A place where I can enjoy all the blessing I have been granted because I have fully experienced loss. I thank GOD for all his gifts. Including those that didn't feel so wonderful. If you feel this it's because it was written just for you.
