Remember that time when we prepped for each other for hours? Primping, beautifying, working towards being each others fantasy…
That is always the way it starts, so beautiful and perfect from far away. The closer you get to someone the more flaws are revealed. In some ways the flaws are what makes individuals so beautiful. In other ways the flaws are just flaws.
Am I feeling all thinkery tonight, can you tell?
It sucks.
Squished Together 
Yes the fantasy versions of ourselves are wonderful. Yet after awhile, we need the reality that we are flawed. And it is in seeing the flaws of others that makes us more comfortable with our own flaws. Thus giving way to a much deeper connection and living relationship.
