Pssst… Perfect People

This is a note for all the perfect people out there. When I meet you, which is rare, it deeply saddens me. Not for me, but for you. I often wonder how you can live in this world. Isn’t it hard for you to be around all of these people day in and day out, who are not perfect like yourself?

I just can’t imagine how terribly difficult and frustrating it must be. Your speech, your ways, your opinions and even your driving skills are better than anyone else around. You amaze me with your brilliance!

I honestly don’t know how you do it. I know I couldn’t handle it if it was me. A simple discussion with someone or a quick drive to the grocery store would be just about all I could take. Imperfect people are everywhere! You can’t escape them. They are at home, work, on the highway and in every store you walk into.

It’s okay though! Don’t be scared. Imperfection is not contagious. You can’t catch it. You’ll always be perfect. So, breathe. It’s okay. You’re safe.

Now that you’re breathing again, I do have a question. How do you manage to carry on in a world filled with imperfect people?
