#perfect does not exist

"There is no such thing as the "perfect" man or woman. Just find one who tries hard enough to make you happy and wants to grow with you."

Celebrating Failures

I used to be a major perfectionist. The type who would experience extreme anxiety about completing any projects and become depressed when the grades were less than perfect (which was often).

I realized much later that perfection is not only unachievable but nonexistent. “Perfection” is dependent on culture and its values: intelligence, being physically fit/able-bodied, “beauty” (whatever that means), fitting discrete categories of man/woman, having 5000 friends on Facebook, etc. No one wants or thinks that failing perfectly exists.

Failure, however, is worth celebrating. Failing gives incentive to work harder next time and to realize our need for self-care.

Failing is an opportunity, not a set-back. It is essential to the human experience. But only if we let it be so.

So, next time failure happens, try celebrating and learning for the experience. It’s against culture standards, but “celebration” does not imply anything positive needs to happen in the dictionary; only for important events. Celebrating the importance of failures is essentials for anyone’s self-care.

When I told a friend about celebrating failures in a dry run of a TEDx talk (I didn’t get the speaker position, but I will try harder next year!), she took this wisdom to heart. Perhaps she’s not the only person to benefit. So this is for her as she experiences hardship. Enjoy the holiday, Liza.

YOU are beautiful regardless what society says(=

you are beautiful no matter how you look in the mirror. you are not ugly. someone loves you for simply how you are, flaws and all. keep smiling and do what makes YOU happy. In this world the society's image is if you do not look like this then you are doing something wrong, but it is all just about judging people before they get to know them. This is a problem and it needs to stop.YOU are beautiful inside and out. I love you!!! The perfect body does not exist. xoxo xoxo I love you loveys.

"Perfect boys only exist in books."

NO BITCH. In good literature all characters are flawed but readers choose to accept them and love them anyway. We develop with them, as readers, and grow to love their little quirks and flaws. Girls and boys don't love characters because they are "perfect" they love them because they love who they are- flaws included. 

So why don't you sit your wannabe philosophical ass down and read a good book. Because these books with "perfect guys" are probably trashy, sappy, teen dramas with no plot or character development.

can't get the themes these days.

Had to change mine because I kept getting pissed off about the album art not showing up on my audio posts. But I liked my old one :'(
