Chasing Perfection

Well, these days, I have been surrounded by people who have this certain need to be liked by everyone. They change their hair, they pierce their skin, they go on special diets and laugh on jokes they don't even understand. I don't get why people do this. Why they have this certain need of feeling so accepted by others that they are willing to loose themselves and give up who they are.

Imperfections

"God knows I'm not perfect either. I've made tons of stupid mistakes, and later I regretted them. And I've done it over and over again, thousands of times; a cycle of hollow joy and vicious self-hatred. But even so, every-time I learned something about myself"

We all have flaws. We all make mistakes. We all have done things we're not so proud of . We all have weaknesses. Don't we? I mean have you ever known someone who has never done anything wrong or who is perfect. If not, then why are we all so hard on ourselves? We all have imperfections or flaws that we tend to over-think about. Why do that? Why change who we really are? Why loose ourselves trying to get better for others? People who really love us or care about us will love us with all our imperfections.

Lets not call it 'Love'

What's so scary when someone starts treating you special?
It's when you get used to it
and you can no longer get it out of your system.
So before it's too late,
you have to set your mind
that sweet gestures are never guarantees.

That is exactly my point but its better explained in form of an incident that once happened. So there was this guy who was looking for something serious and he really liked this girl. That girl was really nice and she treated that guy well and they were good friends but she never really had any feelings for him. The guy was not really perfect (i mean obviously!) and had an image of a pervert. He tried very hard to get this girl to go out with him but it never really happened and there was a time when he was fighting hard to stay friends with her. Out of all this what I realized was that this girl, she never really deserved him. Because she only saw him as a nerd-ish pervert and truthfully he was so much more than that. She just didn't see what was beyond his pervert image.
