Perfection the conditions state or quality of being free from all flaws or defects. I
think the actual definition should be a 10-letter word describing something that doesn't exist or
prison
Maybe straightjacket. See perfection is a virus a
Tumor a growth it infects the mind of who it attaches itself to
Until it eventually
Destroys the host. I hate the very word perfection. It has driven me crazy for years guided by fear
I was constantly comparing myself to my peers stressing and striving to reach some idea that only existed in
Here. Oh
You thought perfection was real
Well, I disagree. I mean, have you ever seen a perfect tree in real life?
Have you ever gone into a forest and seen a perfect tree now?
See they all got a little something going on some lean this way some lean that way
Some have a little too much loss and some got a whole bunch of bark that's been ripped off but somehow
They're all beautiful, but
When it comes to people we don't seem to see that we are all beautiful in
all of our expressions
so we dissect ourselves into pieces judging each other thinking perfection is something we can achieve which leads us to feeling depleted and
Defeated but Salvador Dali's said it best
have no fear of perfection because
You never reach it
Ladies and gentlemen, there are two doors in life door
Number one be perfect and be admired or door number two. Be real
and beloved I
Say choose door number two and choose it quick because life's too short to try to live up to something that doesn't even exist
It makes no sense. So, please create your own unique and expression color outside
the lines be the pretzel that refuses to not be the marble that doesn't quite roll right do the dance that
Nobody's ever seen before and don't worry if people stop and stare. I mean if the Leaning Tower of Pisa was straight
Nobody would care
See what mistakes are made beauty is birthed. You know why they call it the Model T?
Because that's how many letters it took for Henry Ford to get that darn car to work
So don't worry about always being first and getting it right. I mean Sony's very first product they ever made
It cooked rice
so embrace your mistakes they are to be savored failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor and true success is being
Yourself in a world that's constantly trying to make you someone else
You know, I was reading the other day about a Japanese tradition called kinsugi
What they do is if an object breaks
They feel the cracks were pure gold because they believe that when something suffers damage and has a history
It is all the more beautiful
So I say love your cracks. You may call it brokenness
but it is the way your light will shine through and
If you have no one in your corner
then consider me your supporter and we will smile together as society tries to diagnose our gifts as
disorders
You don't need to be a perfect person with perfect makeup perfect skills or a perfect build
because the truth is real people aren't perfect and
Perfect. People are
real
