Someone told me last night that I was "perfect." Take it as a compliment? That is hard for me. I am a lot of things but "perfect" I am not. No one is for that matter. I have been trying to write more and more lately and really take the time to think about the things in my life that make me happy. Now expanding on this idea of me being "perfect" I asked myself, "why?" Why does this person think that me, Taylor Knuth, is perfect?
I came up with a concept though. As you can tell from the title it is called "A Beautiful Mess" Pretty self explanatory right? I'll elaborate. That is what I am! No I am not conceded and I am not calling myself Beautiful. I think that every single person on this Earth is a "Beautiful Mess." You constantly hear the world tell you what you can't do and what is "socially acceptable." Well I am a mess! I am constantly shouting back at the world telling THEM what I can do and why I AM socially UNACCEPTABLE! How is that?
I look at this person who told me this and all I can think is "Oh my goodness YOU'RE perfect!!" Nothing and no one will ever be perfect though. "But a person does not have to be perfect to be exactly what you need". I love that quote but I want to think about things differently. This person is not perfect. I'm not perfect. My world is not perfect! But one thing I am and that she is, is a beautiful mess. I am abrasive, rude, upfront, loud, outspoken, impatient, and stubborn. Most people will never hear me admit I am wrong. But I know one day, someone will look at me and ALL my faults and take every single one in and really love me. That's love. To admit you are a beautiful mess and find one single person willing to take all your garbage and love it along with everything else.
I am a beautiful mess.
Great post Taylor. I love the concept of "A Beautiful Mess" I loved your insight and your willingness to share it. :)
