Whatever happened to the good ol fashioned blog. Attention spans keep getting shorter and shorter I guess. I can’t really be one to judge though, that’d be hypocritical. But anyways, back to the blog. I’m not a traditional writer or anything of the sort, I’m actually an engineering major with a passion for philosophy and the like. So pardon my incorrect everything. I’m not perfect.
Turns out no one is perfect, no matter how many times people say it to their significant others it makes me cringe to hear it. Yes it’s just a word but behind it lies so much. For me, when I hear perfect I recoil. I sweat. It’s worst than the worst curse word. Why?
Because now I’m held to an unreachable standard, you see me as having done no wrong, no bad days, no mistakes. I’m human, I fuck up. I’ve failed more times than I can count, I’ve cried way too many tears to measure, I am far from perfect and that’s who I want to be.
I’m tired of pretending to be something I’m not. I want to mess up and not worry so much and do things simply because I WANT TO. I want to be happy to be me.
