A woman once said to me ‘you must have a perfect life.’ The comment took me aback a bit because at that time I was newly separated, just moved into my new home, struggling financially, and stress was a constant part of my day in numerous ways. It was definitely far from perfect. My thoughts were “if she only knew…” However, I went out that night to celebrate my good friend graduating her master’s degree because this day was about her, and I wanted her to have a memorable day.
