Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. Nobody is. No matter how perfectly I dress or act I will never be perfect. Sure I wear dresses and get good grades and live in a large house ,but that doesn't make me perfect. I also compose goofy love songs, play video games half the day, and spend all my money on bubblegum and chocolate. I chew my fingernails then glue fake nails over them so nobody sees. I cut off all my hair once, put toothpaste in a hole I made in my bedroom wall, have makeover parties alone, and eat bacon while watching the movie Babe. Do you get it now? I'm not perfect. And I never will be. Forget it. You're not perfect either. Why the concept perfect was invented I have no idea, but it doesn't exist. SO STOP IT!! Stop chasing after an ideal that doesn't exist. Just do your best. I'm not saying it'll be enough, but it's the most you can do. Stop trying so hard. Live life. Love others. and for gods sake have fun!! We only live once. So enjoy it while you can.

I had a feeling some of it was true but hey everyones different in a good special way.I like it,and I find it heroic that u admitted some of this stuff without being hesitant.Good Job!Some parts I did kind of find sneaky yet cool,like u biting ur nails and covering it with fake nails.Its okay,whats the worse thing that could happen with that situation?

Perfection is about control , a kind of insecurity, ease up and let life flow. Lovely write.

I see your point. To pursue such perfection would be suicide.

People want to be perfect becasue they think perfect equals happy. they think that nothing bad will ever happen to them, if they're perfect. that's not how the world works, never how the world works, did work, or ever will work. but stopping is easier said then done. people have expectations, from themselves, from others. those don't go away. religion plays a part for many. so do stereotypes, cliques, hormones. OCD people and perfectionists in general have a lot of trouble (take that from me, I'm both). I feel like this is probably a rant to release the stress of high epectations you are held to, though. so i just want you to know, I eat bacon everytime I watch Babe, and Charlotte's Web. I think it's perfectly fine :)
