Pursuit of Perfection

Perfection is something I have strived for all of my life. I think that being the first kid in a fairly large family had a lot to do with it. I was expected to be a lot of things.... perfect was defiantly one of them. I have carried around those expectations all of my life and of course OTHER PEOPLE have added to my list of expectations. I continued allowing other people tell me what was perfect. The perfect weight, the perfect height, the perfect attitude, the perfect friend, the perfect girlfriend, the perfect wife, the perfect mother, the perfect artist, the perfect person, etc. Until I started yo break down, I started to understand that really there is no such PERFECT. I could work my tail off and still never achieve that kind of perfection. I would never ever reach the level I had set for myself. I am perfect for me, I do the best I can and that is it. I am perfect.

I think you are perfect. I think you take the perfect pictures (except your gross lizard ones) and I think you have the perfect sense of humor. I think you have a perfect personality. I think you are a perfect scrapbooker. So keep being perfect. You are really good at it!

What a great realization to get to. Trying to find the balance in everything is so hard, but accepting not everything is going to be perfect and being okay with that, makes much happier people.
