Gaps

Dear Whoever You Are,
I know I haven’t written in awhile.  Sorry about that.
I had been very deliberately taking some time off from dating, romance and all that such things entail.  I thought it might be beneficial to spend some time working on myself.  My reasoning was that whoever you are, I know you will be amazing, therefore I should at least be… semi-amazing?  Whatever.  
Problem is, I had begun playing that “perfect myself” game in many facets of life and I don’t think it was serving me very well.  Why should I put my life (and what I want) on hold just because I’m not perfect by some arbitrary and probably unreachable measure?  So I concede I’m not perfect.  I bet, even though you’re pretty amazing, you aren’t perfect either.  Truth be told, no one is.  
Whatever the case, we’ll be able to make it work… and maybe our imperfections are the very things that will make us great.  Much like what Rocky said to Adrian:  “I got gaps.  You got gaps.  Together we fill in each other’s gaps.”  Besides... I am actually pretty awesome in a lot of ways.

So I hope you don’t mind that I may still be doing some renovations when we meet.  Maybe we’ll be able to work on ours together.  Maybe that’s what will be amazing.
