There is no such thing as perfect
There is no such thing as perfect.
For so long, I wanted everything to be perfect. My work had to be perfect. My appearance had to be perfect (and I don’t even know what this means now!). My relationships had to be perfect. My parenting had to be perfect. I had to be perfect in every single way.
I felt like I wasn’t enough, so I dreamt of being enough. I wanted to be perfect so badly because then I would be ‘enough’. I pushed myself to breaking point and at the time, I never understood why it was so f*cking hard.
But now I know it’s because there is no such thing as perfect.
If you are stuck in this cycle as well, then I’m sending my love because I know it can be tough! You also don’t need to figure it out on your own, please reach out if this is something you would like to work on.
With love
