Hi Jonell,

Thank you for commenting on the post. Getting to know yourself is such a great thing, I didn’t realize what I was missing. I definitely think they need to prove it, no more am I going to try to create a role for someone who doesn’t even know if they want to be in that role. Thank you, glad to be in the club. I will share all my experiences through the posts.

You could be describing me in your scenario. I didn’t pack up to move to a foreign country with a man, but I was living a life that I was very happy in, with a person I was engaged to. And then I wasn’t. And it was a complete surprise.
The concept of a “perfect life” sets up so many unrealistic expectations for people. I agree with some of the other commenters here – perfect is in the eye of the beholder. I think we can choose to be happy – even in less than ideal circumstances – and we should learn to check-in with ourselves to see if we are leading the best lives we can. Happiness is a constant, evolving process, but no, I don’t think a generalized “perfection” really exists.

I don’t believe anyone has the perfect life either, however I do think that since everyone has their own definition of perfect; maybe to those people they have the perfect life. Based on their own expectations being met. Which is why I also think its important to stress the fact that way may constitute a perfect life for one, may not be the perfect life for another. As you said, the grass is always greener on the other side. When we do set our own definition of happiness and perfection (as close as you can get to it anyway), then we can be content with what we have.

Thank you for sharing

I don’t believe anyone ever has the perfect life, but I do believe there are perfect moments, it’s possible to be happy with yourself and with your life, the grass always looks greener on the other side until you get there and then you’re close enough to see all the weeds and little patches of dirt and then you look over to where you had just been and it looks perfect and green from here…
