Every protagonist is imperfect, with their own flaws and misfortunes, a writer with obsessive-compulsive disorder and a bunch of eccentricities, a gay painter not accepted by his parents, a single restaurant waitress with a son in a long-term pill jar, people Everyone has their own misfortunes. Maybe imperfection is life, so perfection should be an attitude to life. I like lines, You make me want to be a better man. You make me want to be a better man. Maybe I'm the only one in the world who knows that you're the most amazing woman in the world, and I'm maybe the only one who really realizes... how amazing everything you do... and how you treat Spencer . Almost every thought you have and every intention you express is of integrity and kindness. A lot of people ignore this side of you, and I wonder how they can watch you bring their food and clean the table without ever realizing that they are meeting the most amazing woman in the world. In fact, I've noticed, and it makes me feel good about myself... Wow, it's love, it's a little sweet to be a better person
