Perfectly Imperfect Arie

Why write, you ask? Well am not sure really. Perhaps, because I love to write. And because secretly I've always wanted to be a writer and photographer working for a cool music mag, like Rolling Stone, but really I have no experience with it other than the thoughts that circle around my brain. Also, I write because it's semi therapeutic and an outlet for my creative thinking I guess. I am a little spazztic so bare with me.

Let me begin by saying... I haven't written a blog in well over a year, so readers (if any?) Please be kind.

I don't pretend to make my life sound more interesting than the next. I am just trying to make sense of life all together and live each day to the fullest and  strive for happiness to be the best mom that I can be to my daughter, the best friend I can be, the best partner in life and in love, and the best human that I can. Occasionally I fail.. I'll give you a perfect example. I once read somewhere this really wise quote and it goes something like this.. 

"The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment."

...Well today was one of those days where i said the wrong thing at a most inopportune moment. I was trying to be a friend and instead ended up sticking my rather large foot in my mouth! I ask myself.. "how's your foot taste now, Arie?" As soon as my words came out of my mouth I immediately wanted to request a retraction. I was at that very moment not a good friend. Instead I was as I have come to tag myself as, 'Perfectly Imperfect'. What should have been a beautiful charming sushi lunch turned out to be very emotional and quite the tear jerker. Luckily for me, I have very wonderful friends that are ubber accepting and forgiving of my short comings. 

I am imperfect.. I know this and I feel things very deeply, and so that when I do happen to hurt someone I love, I don't take it lightly. I will continue to strive each day to be a better friend to those I hold near and dear to me. So anyway... there's always tomorrow right? A fresh clean slate to start a new day! Am dusting myself off and trekking on.

Cheers to clean slates, friendships, and all that jazz!
