Oh hell - we knew that, right? Aren't we all?
Sometimes we think we aren't worthy, even though we know we are flawed. And it makes me wonder ...
How some couples get along with being flawed and arguing over things, and others (me) can't make it through one disagreement without separating and parting ways for a lifetime.
Perhaps I watch too much TV - or not enough - that I believe couples can argue over things and still exist as a couple. Or, perhaps I think that couples can form to begin with, which seems to be a problem, so why am I concerned with keeping something together that isn't together to begin with?
There is supposed to be a lid for every pot, but I wonder if some pots are English and some lids are metric? It doesn't seem as simple as the lid/pot analogy makes it out to be. I'd guess that somehow, the lids and pots that fit each other go undiscovered and their owners go a lifetime without knowing that there was indeed one of them for each of them. It's not that difficult to comprehend.
And so, we are flawed - indeed. That is how we are made. It is the flaws that makes the acceptance worthwhile. After all, if we found that ideal "soul mate" that the TV ads tell us exists somewhere, then it would be easy to accept the flaws, right? The issue comes in knowing that there are flaws and still accepting and - oh yeah - loving that person because you know that there is a soul within.
If you are looking for someone that fits your mold, then you are playing a fools game. We know we are flawed...
...and those of us who know that can accept the flaws in our partners - but, if the partner doesn't accept it, then we are left on our own ... and that's how it usually ends up.
Our true soul mates in life realize that we have flaws and yet - we are still worthy of love. It's not about some earthly value. It is about the love within us. The loyalty, and faith that we place in us that leads us toward each other.
Sadly, I have not found that yet. I still have time, but the hourglass is running out of sand.
I feel like I am still worthy.
