My Perfect Imperfect Life
A few years ago, I was standing at the barre (扶手杠) waiting for my adult ballet class when I heard a voice behind me. “So, do you have this perfect life?”
My first reaction was to _______ who was being asked such an odd question. Then I remembered there were only two of us in the room. When I turned _______, the other woman was looking straight at me.
I had no idea how to answer it. Was she _______? Who has a perfect life? Sure, occasionally I did find the perfect dress or the perfect pair of shoes, _______ never would I use that word to describe anything about me or my life. I felt a twinge of guilt for somehow giving her that _______.
She watched me. I finally _______ to whisper a quick “No”.
By then, the teacher had entered the room and turned on the music to start class. With a sigh of _________, I moved my feet into the best position. But as soon as my knees bent for our first pose, I realized my _______ had been disturbed. This woman’s words wouldn’t _______ echoing in my thoughts.
I wanted to know how she came up with her very mistaken _______. If she knew anything about my life, she never would have had the _______ to ask me that question.
I did my best to do our floor exercises in front of the mirror. For a few moments, I didn’t see the usual _______ of my older self attempting to use a beautiful art form to _______ my gracefulness. I only saw the little girl whose father died when she was two, the child who walked home from elementary school every day to an empty house, who learned to sew her own clothes to _______ money.
Perfect. My life had been far from it.
When those memories ________, I was left with a vision of the woman I had become, the woman _______ by all those things I considered imperfect. I now saw the woman who had learned to be self-reliant, who _______ her family and her friends, who didn’t take life for granted. Was that the “perfect” this woman had detected?
I still don’t know, but I no longer feel _______ or feel like I must keep track of all the difficult times to prove my life isn’t _______. If ever again asked whether my life is perfect, I would have a different _______. Because now I see that, despite all its imperfection, it is.
