Are you a perfectionist?

We live in an imperfect world, yet we are constantly given the message that everything should be perfect: our homes, our garden, our children and ourselves.

According to scientists, this obsession with perfection is one of the main causes of stress and depression nowadays – nobody ever thinks they are good enough.

But is doings things perfectly a positive thing? Some experts are not so sure.

I would like to write in my post about one example of “perfection”.
It would be about a perfect housewife.

So, she keeps her house in perfect order, thinks about everything her partner might want and makes an enormous effort to keep herself fit and fashionable.

She is always busy and is admired by everyone who knows her.

But, according to specialists in stress, the reality is that her partner is probably wishing he lived with somebody who was more relaxed and would let him put their feet up on the sofa in the evening.

The dark side of love

Have you ever fallen in love? If yes, it seems that you know about white and dark side of love.

In love as in war, there is one winner.

First of all, you see only the white side of love. You are happy together, he/she is interesting. We have lots of things in common.

All things are pink for you. You think that the whole world is yours. Angels fly around you. You smile. You cry. Your mood changes every second. And all these things happen because of her/him.

You are captured. You can’t breathe without her/him. Every his/her delay makes you unhappy.

Both of you eat out of the same dish. Sleep in the same bed. Sing the same song.

You listen with an open mouth all the words which come out from this mouth.

You are captured again. Captured by his/her kiss, smile, hands…

Then, he/she starts delaying. You waited him/her, but he/she didn’t come.

Dark. Dark around you. You still love him/her, in spite of the fact that you aren’t friends anymore.

Your dreams are full of his/her image. You can’t even eat because he/she isn’t near you.

She/he doesn’t take the phone when you make calls. You saw him/her with another person. Depression.

A dark, very dark depression.

“She/he doesn’t love me anymore. My life doesn’t have any sense”. These phrases are typical for people who were disappointed in love.

How are you? How do you feel today? – Somebody try to return you back.

Back to a normal life. A pink life, where there is only happiness.
