A boy once told me, he wanted to fall in love with the right and perfect girl. The girl with a perfect smile, mind and heart. Not broken but complete. No strings of flaws. I told him, “The truth is, we all are undone and finding someone complete means finding the words inside a blank book. I believe that everyone wants to fall in love but more people are in love with the theory of love. They wanted a love so perfect it would bleed out jealousy in the world. They wanted a love so sweet it would make all the candies taste sour. But love, is just a metaphor. We don’t actually get the true essence of it unless you accept all of its misadventures. Just like people, love can also be misleading and imperfect. Here’s my concept of love: In a turbulent struggle where everything seems rough, a person comes into your life and engraft a piece of them to complete you. Now tell me, have we all come unfinished?”
The boy flinched sussing my deep eyes. Maybe the answer was perceptible but he could not even find a word to say. “We all are bound to be with someone whom we will love dearly. One must not be so lost in the ecstasy of love because a love without struggles is a river without water. You need not be so cautious in finding the right person because when love comes, there will be no question about it. We all are fixer uppers and we need to find the person willing to repair all our damages and flaws. You cannot and will not have a perfect relationship because just like a house, we are in need of constant repair. To alleviate all the bad in our lives and make it bearable, one must not give up on the other. So don’t be a fool to think that a person carries no flaws. You will meet a girl with a broken family, or meet a girl who loves to read because she hates the real world, or meet a short-tempered girl, or meet a girl who was crushed by her past lover. When you’ll love her, fix her. And then she’ll fix you, because the way I see it, you are also in need of reparations.” He smiled-the kind of smile that makes you think maybe, and just maybe, this boy would be a great fixer.
