What a Perfect Life

Going through the posts on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, looking at those pretty faces and huge houses of your friends, getting text messages from your friends who were so happy because they just received Dean's List, receiving an invitation card for your cousin's wedding, then you were just sighing words "what a perfect life they have."

Having a huge house, a nice villa of one's own family just for a sweet and short escape once in awhile, a beautiful appearance with pretty and flawless face, a good family with dad who is the CEO of one big company, a mom who is well-known among all other moms, cheerful siblings, educated in one of the best educational institution, a perfect gf/bf, a sweet husband, a wife who is best at multitasking, cute kids who could talk fluently at the age of 3 and the list goes on for a perfect life...

That is what a perfect life seems to be, well, at least, what is told in those dramas on tv and novels. Or, that is what we all have been dreaming of. Of a perfect life. Right?

But, the thing is, is that kind of "a perfect life" would definitely last longer? Isn't there any ends to those kind of life? What are the things await for a perfect life? Does a perfect life really means perfect?

I guess that we can never really have a perfect life. It might be impossible that everything is so perfect, nothing is wrong or we are never going to be sad. Everyone is going to encounter so many issues in their life. You might have a big and nice house, but you also going to feel lonely in the place you called your home. You might have a pretty face, but a lot of people might don't like you. You might have a good spouse, but you can't even have a child even after 10 years of marriage. That is life. Nothing is so perfect in this life. No one can be so happy all the time and no one can be so satisfied along the journey of their life.

"I guess that it is okay to not own a perfect life. Enough that you have a kind heart and a brave soul."
