You know that moment when you randomly go in a store and see something that seems perfect for you?
You're amazed when you see it but you don't have the money to buy it right then so you go home daydreaming about coming back and getting it next time. But after some days, when you do go back to the store and see it again you realize you had the illusion of perfection and that, in fact, the thing is not as lovely and amazing as you remembered it.
The next step is being disappointed or relieved (depending on how much it costs) because in the end all this "game" brings in a lot of tension. Sometimes you realize you don't need it right then, but you have an irresistible feeling you want to own it. So when you go back and confront reality you realize you were just temporarily blind.
Today I felt just that. It's not the first time it happened to me and I realized it might occur because our whole life we're trying to find little pieces of ourselves and this kind of encounter is exactly what we need to feel complete... it's like trying to solve our own puzzle. So we're searching for the other pieces. Every time we find one of the right ones we're in 9th heaven, but sometimes the pieces are very similar and it's easy to be misled. That's when "the perfect illusion" happens:)
In the end, you win some battles, you lose some battles. Today I was relieved. The dress was too expensive:)
