A Beautiful Mess

What a beautiful mess, this is...

Just listened to a beautiful song by Jason Mraz called "Beautiful Mess".

Although it's talking specifically about a relationship... I think the truth of this song applies much broader:

"But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are
Here we are"

Life is a dirty process... it scars, it maims, it burns, hurts, abuses sometimes even ruins...

But it's something we get to do together, next to each other, with each other and for each other.

Sometimes the flaws are what reveals true beauty.


Not sure about you guys, but when I meet someone who seems perfect, it just scares me! What's even scarier is when they still seem perfect once you've known them for years...

I think there's something beautiful about the fact that we're all flawed.

Once you come to acknowledge that, and see the beauty past, even within people's flaws, it's just priceless.

I dunno if I'm anywhere close, but sometimes, you just catch a glimpse of redemption, of the kingdom on earth. Spectacular!

omg perfect people scare me too. Theres no way it can be real when people are too perfect...i love people who have been thru hard stuff and come out the other side and arent afraid to talk about it or admit it! Tis amazing. And flawed people are so nice and HUMAN. Im a huge fan of that.
