The " OKAY"

 The hardest lesson I had to learn, and was reminded of time and again, is that good people also hurt. No matter how perfect they are , at some point or another, they will say something that you weren't expecting them to say, they will do something that, at the time, would be terribly disappointing, and they will sometimes be harsh and mean. And that is okay. I think it was the "okay" part that was the hardest for me to grasp. 

It is okay that someone doesn't always fulfill your expectations. It is okay when someone you really love flips out on you or behaves a little irrationally. Too often we just forget that.

We ask for a break but we are not willing to give a break.

They should also be given the room to be a little mean, and a little rude, and a little harsh, because they are after all, just like us.

They also deserve a break. They can also break into a tantrum, and that is quite alright.

You can't always hold the anger and the hurt and the little mistakes against them just because you didn't expect them to do it.

For me it is seldom the mistake but the repetitiveness of the same mistake that raises the concern.

I think the most important thing is not about how many times that someone slipped but how many times he tried not to slip.

The important thing is to know that they are trying.

At the end of the day they care, and their actions show you that they do.

PS: We all want everything to be okay. We don't even wish so much for fantastic or marvelous or outstanding. We will happily settle for okay because most of the time, okay is enough
