Anti-Perfection

Long time no post... The reason why I haven't posted in a while is because of this battle with perfection.

Everything has to be perfect. And it's not me wanting everything to be perfect. I should be the one who wants everything to be perfect. It's everyone else, they all want me to be perfect.

Everyone is looking for perfect. Perfect grades, perfect writing, perfect scores, perfect dancing, perfect singing, perfect relationships, perfect skin, perft eyes, perfect voices, perfect CRAP.

When someone wants something "perfect," it truly bugs me. I actually HATE perfection. I know I am not perfect.

I do not have perfect grades. Confession: I got a C in Trig last year. Not perfect. Do I care? No.

I do not have perfect writing. Confession: There are probably a dozen typos in this blog post. Not perfect. Do I care? No. Not at all.

Never call me perfect. Never request perfection from me. I can give you "next to perfection," but I will not give you perfection. In fact, if you request perfection from me, I'll give you crap instead.

Because I hate perfection.

End of rant.

  1. I live to be the opposite of perfect. Perfect is evil. Perfect saps the soul and makes you feel inferior to the world. I do that enough without perfection poisoning my world view. Perhaps I am showing too many of my issues?

  3. I don't think I've ever had someone request perfection of me - clearly they all know better!
