PERFECTION
The condition state or quality of being free from all flaws or defects. I think the actual definition should be a ten letter word describing something that doesn't exist or "prison" maybe "straight jacket". See perfection is a virus, a tumor, a growth-- it infects the mind of whom 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 ws constantly comparing myself to my peers. Stressing and striving to reach some ideas that only existed in my head!
Ooh you thought perfection was real?! Well I disagree. I mean have u ever seen a perfect tree?! 🤔 In real life have you ever gone to the forest and seen a perfect tree? Naah see, they all got a little something going on. Some lean this way, some lean that way. Some have a little too much miss and some gotta whole bunch bark that's been ripped off but somehow...they're all Beautifull. But when it comes to people we don't seem to see that we are all Beautifull 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 said it best: " HAVE NO FEAR OF PERFECTION BECAUSE..... YOU'LL 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 be loved. I say choose door number two and choose it quick because life is too short to try to live up something that doesn't even exist. It makes no sense, so please create ya own unique impression, color outside the line, be the pretzel that refuse to knot, be the Mable that doesn't roll quite 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 when mistakes are made, BEAUTY is birthed.
Do u know why they call it the model T?! Cause 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 ya mistakes, they're to be savored. Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavour and true success is being ya self 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 "KINTSUGI" - what they do is if an object breaks, they fill the crack with pure gold because they believe that when something suffers damage and has a history it is all the more beautiful. So I say love ya cracks, you may call it brokenness but it is the way ya light will shine through. And if you have no one in ya corner then consider me ya supporter and we'll smile together as society tried to diagnose our gifts as disorders.
You don't need to be a perfect person with perfect makeup, perfect skill or perfect build. Because the truth is REAL people aren't PERFECT and perfect people aren't REAL!
