Imperfection

By Zura | April 29, 2008

I am celebrating my imperfection today.  I am taking some new medicine and it is making me feel like a slug, so I haven’t done much the past few days.  And you know what?  That’s okay!  American society puts so much importance on our value being in what we produce.  But there’s so much more that’s important than that.

I see perfectionism killing creativity every day.  If we didn’t have this perfect ideal of whatever looming over us, it would be so much easier to just enjoy all the things we do.  So, I’m making a conscious effort to pat myself on the back for all the ways I flip society off by being imperfect.

For example, I am messy, I am a picky eater, I smoke too much, I don’t sleep enough,  I cuss and I don’t send birthdays on time - ever!

So there!
