Waiting to be onboard... and oh, imperfection!

Hello, Loves! It’s been overdue again, I know. As I always say, I was never blessed with the luxury of time. It’s not a complaint because it’s still a positive note, because despite being busy, which I will forever be, I believe I am blessed with the life that God has given me. I’m in the waiting game, right now, I would say. I was too early to get onboard so, apart from counting the planes, I was reminded to open my site and write. Yay, beautiful chance! First of all, I would like to express my sincerest thanks to everyone who subscribed to my mailing list and found time to leave me a message. I highly appreciate receiving messages in all sorts - beauty advice, love and relationship, career suggestions, lady boss mindset, etc. The compliments are mostly a huge bonus. One letter that I got from a subscriber totally stands out as it is a very interesting question that I don’t usually receive - how I see perfection in a relationship. She asked me - ‘If you are to write a love note that speaks about love beyond imperfection, how would it go?’ Interesting, isn't it? So there, it did catch my attention - apparently. I feel like I needed to read it quite a few times and digest every word. It's very interesting and straightforward at the same time. It’s not often that I will receive similar questions, so here I am today, sharing how it would go. It isn't typical of me to write a love note, at this stage, because honestly, all I was into the past years are business plans. I’m about to travel to commence the new financial year and most of my time is focused on running a company. On the side, it’s really great to have side ways and still enjoy my passion of writing. So, thank you, my dear subscriber. Your question totally amazes me and it did wake the 'cheesy' side of me. Here is my fair share of how my love note would go:

Love of my life, Regardless that you’re not perfect, I will still choose you. Perfect is defined as being ‘as good as it’s possible to be’. Ideal, without fault, flawless. However, is it really the kind of person that we search for? How is a life lived without error, without mistakes, without getting knocked down and picking yourself back up again? What is love without compromising, without learning, and without growing? So, even if you’re not perfect, I will still want you. Even if you get things wrong (and of course I will too), I get to watch you make them right again. What more could a woman ask for, than a man who knows how to fix something that’s broken? When your words or your actions bruise me, I see the pain in your eyes as you see mine. I see how beautifully human you are. We are so much more than our many mistakes. We are works of art in progress. We’re still figuring this life thing out, and occasionally we will fall down. Without any question, we’ll be there to help each other back up again. Even if you’re not perfect, I will still love you. Because the beauty of every great love that has ever graced time, is in its imperfection. The parts of both people that don’t quite fit together, and in the act of trying to make sense of that. I’ll happily take you, flaws and all, and do my best to shape my pieces so they fit a little better next to yours. I promise to still love you, even at your worst, like I said I would. I know that if we can get through this, we can pull ourselves through anything. The craziest of storms, and the most tragic of days. Even if you’re not perfect, I will still choose you. I will still choose us. Perfection would make this all too easy, wouldn’t it? I believe nothing worth having in this life will be easy. Perfection wouldn’t be satisfying. Perfection would give us nothing to work for, nothing to keep waking up each day and fighting for. I want to fight with you. I want to grow with you. I want to change with you. I want to do everything, with you. I will still choose you today. I will still choose you tomorrow and I will keep on choosing you every day after that, because I was sure of the man I chose that very first day and I’m as sure of him today as I was then. Even if you’re not perfect, I will still want you, I will still love you, and I will still choose you over and over again. Above all, My Love, I choose us.
