PhotoShopped Relationships

NOTE: I find both the before and after pictures to be beautiful. This is not a post about being overweight...

PhotoShop is BIG these days. This tool can make pictures perfect. They use it on the most beautiful models to make them "more perfect."

I think a lot of times we have a tendency to take this same approach in the relationships that we enter.

We see a close approximation of what we're looking for, then we start trying to make these little edits. "If they worked out more, ate healthier, dressed slightly differently..."

We even edit ourselves, putting out best foot forward.

Then... the illusion doesn't hold up, and real people are resistant to being changed by others.

It's pretty cool to be dating someone where I don't have to worry about the edits.

This is both good and healthy...
