"We aren't here to make things perfect...We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and die." - Cher, from the movie Moonstruck
I really like this sentiment. It perfectly embodies how I feel about my own life path: stumbling along, falling in love with the wrong people and breaking my heart at the things I attempt and fail doing. I must say that I am not sure about the ruining myself - not there yet. But, really for someone who has been caught up in the "perfection infection" it is good to read this sentiment over and over.
Dear Susan, I found your blog by accident looking through Marty's "followers." We met when you visited him a while ago. Anyway, I really appreciate this, because it's so relevant here as I'm moving out of my apt. to a much smaller place and have to get rid of a lot of stuff but first have to look at it....so many things I thought I would do but didn't quite, really. Hoping to get out of the "failure" mood; it's all just life. No good, no bad. But I'm having a hard time staying in that center place, or even remembering that it is.
