Self Diagnosis

Perfection can be defined as the exemplification of supreme excellence.   However, perfectionism is a disposition to regard anything as being short of perfection as being unacceptable.  The latter can act as a recurring disease that can drain the excitement out of life thus creating a major hole.

After a few moments of thinking, there is a simple rule I've discovered in the hardest and most antagonizing ways possible:
  1. Perfection does not exist.
It took me a little more than two decades of life to lean this elementary rule.  Amazing, isn't it?  This little rule could have saved me so much time if I had discovered it earlier.  So many lost opportunities that will never occur again.

After my last beau, I was in search for "The One."  I sort of created a set of characteristics that my next interest would have to possess in order to prevent any previous altercations or events from occurring again.  Big mistake.  By the time I filtered out all of the possibilities, there was no one left.  I was alone again!  I analyzed the situation and found the problem: Analyzation.  The one skill I embraced the most created my lonely state.  I had allowed my brain to make the decisions my heart and my gut should have made.  All of that fancy education and I ended up shutting myself in from life. 

Oh well, I can't change the past; all I can do is just learn from it.  Now, let me try this again...
