I, like most of you (I'm assume), fall trap to the myth that there is a "perfect life." A life with no insecurities, plenty of money, no stress, the perfect family. Complete fulfillment. Although I know intellectually that no such lie exists, I often find myself unsatisfied with my many imperfections. I spend hours thinking about the things I wish I could change, and imagine what my perfect life would entail. I would excel in all school subjects, be content with my appearance and body, be effortless funny, and blah, blah, blah. This perfection amalgam I have cultivated is not real.
I am not perfect. I will never be perfect. And that is okay.
Overcoming the obstacle of a constant drive to be perfect is a difficult feat, and I deal with it everyday. Instead of sulking in the things I wish were different, I choose to be grateful for all the wonderful things I have. Overcoming any obstacle begins with acknowledging your problem, and implement small changes to improve your life.
