Throughout my life I’ve often found myself envious of those perfect people. You know, the ones that no matter what day or event in life, they seem to be effortlessly, for lack of a better word, “perfect”. Whether they’re going to the gym, the grocer, school, church, whatever. They look ideal from hair to socks. Yea socks... even their socks rock. But I digress, it's not just their ensemble. This composure gives them the appearance of raw confidence and a can-do attitude. That is the part I’m envious of. I find myself wondering…do they take alot of time? does it come naturally? do they always pick out their clothes the night before? How are they so together allllll the time?
I still don’t know the secret. And it’s quite an annoyance. I mean, I can get dolled up like any other girl and I know what clothes are appropriate for what. But, I very rarely feel perfect in the moment I’m in, with the exception of Halloween, in which case, I’m technically me. I find myself always on the run, with scratched up sunglasses, the wrong bra with shirt combo, mis-matched socks etc. And it seems on the days I feel close to being one of those perfect people, I never see anyone that would care!?! I know, that is sick, twisted girl thinking right there.
Truth is, I don’t believe anyone actually feels like they’re one of those “perfect” people. It’s always someone else. And if you do, you’re probably an asshole. Just kidding. But, not really.
I guess what I want to know is– why are we always looking for an example? Why are we always thinking we’re not enough as is or that we need to be more like anyone else? We’ve all got a different idea of what perfect is and where we rate in the scheme of things but, I’m learning to admire the people that just don’t give a shit. The ones that get things done in their life…who cares what they’re wearing or how together they seem to be. And honestly…who does have the time to wash their hair everyday, I would like to know. Dry shampoo for life.
