One perfect life, please?

I was having my healthy breakfast earlier today with my friend and she seemed a little upset.

Being the nosy me, I tried to get her talking about it, but the foodcourt bangla was so annoying, I tell you! Kakak, sudah ka? Sudah ka? So busy aiming for my plate for him to clean. So I gave it away and there he was, humming some Urdu song, happily.

Right before I gave away my plate
Eh, why are we discussing about him, now?

Coming back to the story. Remember I was telling you about my upset friend? It was about her husband, complaining about her eating so much she gotten so fat and it was embarassing  even just to sit with her in public.

Him, not accepting his wife getting fat is one, but the thing I am more furious about is the humiliation. I can imagine the devastation hearing the love of your life saying you are no longer a beautiful sight. What happened to to love for better or worse?  You know what's worse? She said her husband felt she started to let herself go after she delivered her baby...

Omigod! That fat woman has carried your child in her womb, endless bank pains, sleepless nights, lost counts of vomits and headaches for nine months, dude! Find some kindness in your black cold heart. Some appreciation, please.

We sometimes fail to see the important things in life, leave alone appreciating others. When our kids try to help by washing the dishes, all we see is how much plates they break. Or when my husband tries to help with the laundry, I'd go thats handwash only! (in my defense, it is the only expensive top I ever had).

I think it's about time for each and everyone of us start being thankful for all the things around us. Life is not about being perfect, it's about making life perfect with common imperfections. So Erika Valdespino quoted.
