When I think of perfect things, the first thing that comes to my mind is getting good grades, having the best sleep, eating perfectly cooked bacon, or even finding a 5-star read.
Moments like this can rarely occur. Therefore, I consider it perfect, ideal, and flawless.
Imperfect days can also take place; Dropping your books while going to class, slipping on a wet floor, having an awkward conversation, begging someone to stay, wearing mismatched socks, your bangs not being straight, getting called out in a recitation and not knowing the answer, smudging your perfect make-up.
I can write about all the things in my life that aren’t exactly perfect, but that would take forever.
It’s not until I was much older that i realized that all of this is a part of a crazy thing called — life.
All of these mistakes are part of what we truly are and hold a significant value of our whole personality.
Think about it, if all these messy mistakes and unperfect living weren’t done, would you be where you are today? Would you achieve everything you’ve achieved?
If you didn’t fail that one test, would you be wiser today? If you didn’t spill that coffee in a random café, would you meet your soulmate today? If you didn’t begged someone to stay, would you be stronger today? If you didn’t do all that, who are you today?
Everything happens for a reason. This might sound cliché but I failed to realize that for so many years. Every imperfect thing in your life is part of God’s plan for you. Trust the process. Everything will fall into place.
