Let's get something straight. I am not a perfect choice for the Vogue internship. Actually, I'm not a perfect choice for anything, really but that's kinda my point. Spending your whole life chasing perfection and surrounded by people with that same impossible goal. It makes it seem as if every setback is a defeat. And every roadblock is a sign that you've chosen the wrong path. That you're inadequate. A failure.
But sometimes we overcome and we realize that we're not alone that you can rely on others to lift you up and that it's okay to ask for help because even in our darkest moments of grief and loss, we persevere, and we make connections.
Look, I'm a work in progress.
But I'm realizing that success isn't about never making mistakes it's about learning from your mistakes.
So, no I am not a perfect choice for anything but I am the right choice for this because my mission statement is in line with yours.
To lead and inspire.
