i wrote about pink tulips before and how they symbolize perfect happiness. but did you know that the meaning of tulips in general is perfect love?
i know there isn't such thing as perfection but there could be by the way we define it. i've had people look down on certain choices/purchases i made on a lot of different things that didn't quite meet their standards. i always like to say "it may not be perfect but it's perfect for me."
time is too precious to live by trying to meet everyone else's perfect standards. define and live by your own.
