I have one of the worst diseases... there's no treatment, no cure...I have this thing called: perfectionism...

For some, it may sound like a dream, thinking that it means that you do everything right, that you have a perfect life, perfect friends, perfect love, perfect everything, and have everything sorted out. But, I'm sorry to break it to some of you: being a perfectionist is nothing like this!

It feels like drowning, and every attempt to get a breath of air feels like another weight added to you, making you sink even deeper. At least this is how it feels for me...

It's like everyone is so perfect, and I am so imperfect. I feel like nothing that I do is good enough, that nothing is perfect. No matter how hard I try, I'm not perfect... but I feel the need to act like I am... make everyone think that I am perfect.

What is perfection? A standard made by us...A dumb conception that makes us feel not good enough...

Screw that...Let's invent a cure, let's make mistakes, and let's learn from them... Let's be imperfectly perfect together!
